visited here with diehardlove at the weekend it was our second visit of the day and unfortunately i was on a time schedule. luckily dave had been here a few times and was able to get us round pretty quickly so i got to see as much as i could. i would love to go back and do it properly.
There is plenty of history on here if you want it so i will just give you the basics. This building started life as a lace mill in the 1940s and won awards for its quality. this ended in the fifties atwhich point the mill was taken over bit by bit by various different companies.
hope you enjoy the pics.
