Visited the huge complex of buildings known as Hunslet and Victoria Mills in Leeds on a cold clear November afternoon, the light was just great.
This massive complex of mills has stood empty sine the 1970s and is due for conversion into flats and houses. The company who owns the site, Caddick, actually seem to be getting on with it at last and have laid paths and concrete bases for builders portacabins to stand on. I asked one of them and he said work is going to start in January.....a massive task.
The mills are all completely empty but some nice signs remain and few other bits and bobs. Getting into the site is not the easy task it was 18 months ago.
