I've been unable to find background info on this place, and there's only one other report here about it, so apologies on that front!

The basics are; Springhead Mill, Cheetham, not far from Strangeways.

Anyway, it was fun to get in to, a little cairn pointing the way.

No idea what the floor was littered with, but it felt like a million tonnes of soggy paper

2nd floor looked pretty knackered

I didn't go up another flight as I could see plenty of light coming through the ceiling and I wasn't too intent on seeing just how soft all that paper was...

I may go back on a drier weekend and check out the rest of it.

Hope you liked my first report!

Sorry, I'll try to get that resolved asap. They were all there this morning :S

[Edit]: The photo's are still on photobucket, so I have no idea why they aren't showing: http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh586/MarysGhost/Springfield%20Mill/

Have you moved their location on Photobucket?

Ahh, I think I realise what I've done. I changed the photobucket folder name to the proper place name (Springfield) but the photo's are still linked to Springhead :fail

[Edit]: Problem solved :D

Dammit, thought I'd done it :/ Can I edit my report to simply change the links? I couldn't find an edit button - unless I just wasn't looking properly...

You'll need to repair the links, either delete the report and do a new one or find the elusive edit button or Clough will punch you in the tezzers.

Okay, changed the name of the photobucket folder, are the pics there now? They are for me. :/

Consider yourself sorted- I'm sure one of the mods will move this to the right place soon.
