tommo · Mar 1, 2011

this is one of this years best explores in terms of a nearly complete and forgotten in time explore, just down the road form tonedale mills, this was the final part in the fox brothers works, it was like they had closed for the day and forgotten to come back, this is being held back in non public for the moment just for the sake of the site as not a single thing has been damaged......yet and its on the english heritage at risk register

A near-complete example of a C19 cloth dyeing and finishing works which developed between c1830 and c1920. An application for new development is being prepared for adjoining grease works site with the intention of facilitating the transfer of ownership to a dedicated building preservation trust which is currently investigating options. The LPA has recently served an UWN on part of the building with EH grant aid.
