After making our way to High royds hospital , to find it has been turned into housing me and dods84 decided to go to Bradford and check some mills out. The first one we came to was just behind the main road buildings. We hopped over a little wall into a basement looking room.

After this we shot through a hole in the wall, which led to another basement room. This one was a lot bigger with concrete coloumns and rubble. There was also a big wooden wheel next to a small dark room with a tank in it. We took a few shots then carried on.

To get up to the next floor we had to climb some dodgy ladders. When we reached the top we were greated by some massive turds, they had to be human because the were the size of a small child haha. Working our way round the maze of shit and needles, we saw in the corner of the room a pimped up smack den, with such accessories as colourful armchairs, sleeping bags and graffiti. On one of the chairs was someones pants, so if you see any half naked smackheads, dribbling round Bradford you know where he came from!!

Anyways the rest of the building was a mess broken glass and shit everywhere, i think tis floor was the offices. As we were walking around three smackheads turned up ready for a bag, so we decided to leave......they smelt like a tramps bumhole anyway ha.

Next up we found, what i believe to be Crabtrees mill a bit further down, we got into the basement which was pretty much empty apart from some tires and made our way up a stair case which was full of rotting bird skeletons. These dead birds were everywhere and there was laso a lot of old birdshit everywhere, LOADS! We got to about the second floor and there was an open window, which was the only light. There was a little room to the right with lockers in and two old doors, which lead to some more dark offices.

This was pretty much empty apart from a bit of old stuff. The top floor was next, which had some nice views of bradford. Also on this floor was a creepy lone chair facing the wall...

There was another old derelict mill joined on to this mill, but we couldnt work how to get in it so we decided to call it a day.

Cheers for looking.....if you want to see a few other photos from that day just check out my flickr, my user name is clintqb on that too.

Quality stuff there fella. Unknown mill could be the old furniture place?
We were in a H. Shutt & Co few years back.
