Langley Mill - Cheshire - September 2012

[mrtoby]

After a quick look at a derp-house early Sunday and then getting blown out by not knowing that Buxton College is now DUST we decided to check this one out.

Aside from being slightly hungover and having the worst car sickness this was a good explore and contains so much good stuff.

A little bit of info stolen from PaulPowers report (http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=23826http://):

"Langley Mill, founded by William Smith in 1826, became the biggest silk printing, dyeing and finishing works in the world.

Langley Mill later went on to become Specialised Automobile Services, a specialist wire wheel manufacturer for classic and modern cars.
The painter Charles Tunnicliffe was born in Langley and painted many birds at the four reservoirs behind the village in Macclesfield Forest.
The village pub, "The St Dunstan", is located on Main Road (the main road through the village). Langley also has a Methodist church and a village hall.
Langley was mentioned in the first episode of the TV series Ashes to Ashes, in February 2008, when DI Alex Drake, played by Keeley Hawes mentions Langley, Virginia, most famous as home to the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency. Her colleague, DC Chris Skelton, remarkes "isn't that near Macclesfield?". Skelton is played by Macclesfield-born actor Marshall Lancaster."

On with my pictures....

Banging! We went here today, we were too 1337 for it/I wore an explorers hat then got bored. There was too much stuff all over the floor and I evidently self trolled myself as these pictures are cracking. Top work Tobington.

Yes Tobes, you've made it look good. I was distinctly underwhelmed, plus it was raining.

This happened.
