Hi guys and gals... Forgot I had registered over here, I might actually get around to posting one day...

Anyway, hows this for a first report onto this forum?

Plenty more where this came from!

Visited in late May, sketchy as fuck this one, holes and rottern wood everywhere... Quite a lot of pictures here...


The mill is full of these chutes, presumably for transporting grain around... It was, after all a flour mill!

This shot is in the smaller mill, next door to the larger one. To the right is a drop of 7 floors...luckily, I am near the bottom...

We spent some time in the roof space, pottering about. I have dissapointingly few shots from here, as there was spoe funky machinery...

The mill is mostly stripped out, save for a few rooms like this. Some have a bit more in though.

This is a booklet about maintaining the equiptment in the above shot. turns out it was for producing chlorine di-oxide, used to bleach the flour white. Also dangerously volatile. It cannot be transported and must be manufactured on site, as required...

The gas was coloured (apparently) and these pipes enabled the workers to monitor the flow.

One of the more interesting rooms in the larger mill, I think this is also to do with the bleaching process, more of those pipes with glass sections.

In between the older mill buildings is a more modern, steel building. This is full of more shit than I have ever seen and very heavy lifting gear.

Only just found this thread...excellent one, mc. Love Millenium Mills...even fairly stripped, it's still got loads of interesting details.
Fabulous photos, especially the tall thin one of the walkway and pipes. :)
