Well, it's been a while since I did a report and a while since I had any urbex wins (usually fail at any sort of entry or even getting up to a building).
This one was just a chancer that I had seen in passing when on my way to denholme a couple of years ago. It's history is not easy to find other than part of it has been on fire and that the locals blame youths for it.
Entry to this was easy, poiibly one of the easiest ive done and once inside it certainly was a treat for the eyes as we were greeted by this

there were a few bits and bobs scattered around the room. The mini had a complete A-series engine and gearbox in it with the rocker cover on the floor. A classic car fanatic could probably put that back on the road. anyway, on with the pics.
This is the best staircase ive seen in a mill.
