British Mohair Suppliers, Midland Mills - Bradford, August 2010

Explored with Squirrell911, Solomon and Kitty.

Last explore of a day of 4 sites, we were chilling out here on the roof watching the oblivious world pass by. That is until a police helicopter swung by. It was probably just in the area but it definitely took an interest.

Constructed between 1871-3 The Midland Mills are an Andrews and Pepper design prior to their major commission for Manningham Mills. They have since been partially demolished to make way for a £35m redevelopment as flats and offices.

The mills were occupied by British Mohair Spinners until 2001 and is represented on one of the two towers with a goat topped weather vane.


Thanks for looking

Great pictures! Love the teddy bear graffitti. Nice to see it's not the usual swear words..

heh, thanks, brings back some memories now! This was one of my first explores, Sol (on the left in the last picture) tragically died not long after falling off a balcony he was trying to climb in Thailand. Real shame he was a great guy.
