This HUGE mill was fantastic, it was probably the most empty place I have ever been but who cares? It's a mega mill :coffee
Some info for you
"" Hartford Mill was built in 1907 by FW Dixon and Son and had 120,000 Platt's spindles at it's peak in 1915 driven by a 1500hp Urmson engine.
It closed in 1959 and was used as a mail order warehouse until recently. It's due to be demolished as part of the Werneth area redevelopment plan ""
Loved it and spent a few hours looking round....mill heaven :thumb
Love the swirling mill vortex on this shot
