Visited this wonderful place a few months ago, I don't know much about it... the paperwork lying around indicates it closed around 1950, although the machinery and stuff looks Victorian
It's completely unmolested by vandals and could easily be restored into a museum or something!
The interior, still full of victorian - looking machinary, a lot of the machines connected with belts running to what would have been a waterwheel driven shaft, also a primitive electric supply which would have been added later
spools of wool still in place at the bottom of the machine, the wool's dried up and hard to the touch now.
View from the attic showing the drive shaft
Frankensteins Castle electric supply!
Part of old water wheel drive
Hope you like it!
