Apologies to those that saw this on 28DL. Twas the first big mill I took a camera into. I wrote a a full description and write up, but the report got canned after the overhaul. Hey ho... lesson learned.... I save them now.

Can't be arsed going into as much detail as before but basically it's a beautiful mill. Grade II listed with rusticated architecture on the lower floors, and a sandstone carving of a Merino sheep above the main entrance (with gold leaf detail). The main part of the mill is dated 1893, and the rear part (mostly demolished when I went in) was 1905. The mill is currently undergoing conversion into a residential development, and 5 days after we went in it mysteriously set on fire :thumbd (see lower pics).

1 pic is NSFW.
