Albert Mill - Whitworth, Lancs.

Had a mooch around the old Albert Mill at Whitworth last week.
I don't know much about the place, and google hasn't much to offer.
Once used for the textile industry, then a few engineering firms have used it too.

Didn't get chance on the 2 top floors because the bus home was due. :(
i will go back and do them soon :p

Thanks Matt & Mexico :)

not a bad little mill, and the main bit not too trashed.

The red on the tap shot is the flash going through my hand :ohmy

the battery went on the canon, so had to use crapcam :D

they came out a tad dark, so used "clarify" in Paint Shop Pro to lighten.
it gives it a HDR type effect.
i'll have a fully charged Canon when i go back (i promise) :coffee

Orama mill is almost gone now Morphix, and not sure if Facit Mill is empty now.
a chappy that uses a local site says the boiler room door is hanging off.

might be worth an outing to see :)

i know the bit to the side of Facit with the typical l/l/l/l/l/l style roof has now gone.

not sure.. but think this space is going to be a car park for the Fudge Factory that moved nearby from Bacup.

i'm going to have a look again very soon, and do the rest of Albert Mill :)
