Mugiemoss closed in 2005, with the loss of 250 jobs - the mill was outdated by more modern mills. The site is now used by a trucking firm, so there are trailers all over the place and some buildings are still in use - the lights are still on in a lot of it as well.

Back again to the ground floor of hall 5:
Then onto the newer west power plant - this oil-fired boiler dates from 1970:
On the wall of this power plant, a poster of, I think, hall 4:
More pics, as usual, in my Flickr set...
