    Arrow Wellington Mills / Knoll Spinning Company - 2009/2011

    This thread was acidentally deleted so I've reposted it because when I went past today, the mill had gone and a Tesco was there with people doing their weekly shop

    Guess you've missed this now if you wanted to see it.

    Wellington Mills in 2011


    This huge complex of mills was closed down in the late 1990s and has been standing empty ever since. I visited over 18 months ago and not much has changed except the developers have had a real good go at sealing it properly. Inside is pure mill porn, it has all the standard colours, supports and features in one massive mill complex.

    Some may say it's empty, others will say it's boring, I say it's UE at its best old machines, roof access, dangerous floors it's all here.

    View from the roof.



    The outside, one impressive mill.



    Inside is mill heaven









    Nice details if you look hard enough



















    Boardroom, now pigeons hold their AGM here



    Classic mill shots.

    I was here just the other day having a look at the development, a very small part is still there.

    This was my 2nd ever explore, I loved having free reign of the place on a sunday morning... good times...
