Welcome dear viewers to the second disused factory/mill visited by Noodles, Ceejam and Myself on a recent
weekend.

Information on this place seems a little thin on the ground but it seems it was built in the late 1700's
and started life as a textile mill. It has had many owners and uses since, including a munitions factory
during the first world war and most recently a company who had a portfolio of products relating to
conveyor belts.

I have seen one or two reports on other sites describe this place as uninspiring .. well you're in the
wrong hobby then - I really liked this place a lot. I said to Noods and CJ that it gets my award for
explore that has exceeded expectations the most for me. don't get me wrong it's not spectacular and there
isn't loads of stuff left behind... well there is some... but it just had a certain .. je ne sais quoi.

It had some lovely colours, lots of little nooks and crannies, some nice dereliction and peely paint,
indoor vegetation and quite a nice variety. it was also somewhat bigger than I expected.

Oh to those who think a 50mm lens is of little
use for urbex .. a lot of my shots form here, and indeed part 1 of our day, were taken with a Canon
50mm f1.8 prime.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

There was a recreation room of some sort - we also found a key cabinet that had a
key for "The Cinema" we thought it might have been in the same room as this:

CJ Inspects a different type of recreation that has clearly gone on in here
