Bailey Mill Delph
Bailey Mill closed down in 1996.

Since that time it has remained empty and its future is uncertain. The old Delph branch line (locally known as The Delph Donkey) once ran along the front of the mill in the picture with the last passenger train running on Saturday 30 April 1955. The old track bed is now a popular recreational route to Dobcross and Uppermill.

Had looked at this place a few times but always overlooked it in favour of other places, so glad I decided to give it a go.

Had a great explore with fiverdog

Enjoy!

Excellent piks dude, Bailey mill is a great explore for sure, you done it justice :D

Thanks mate! ;) Couldn't find the carding machines which have been on some previous pix, albeit from a while ago, though did find the rollers, so maybe someone has been away with them :mad:

theres some pretty fancy ornate machines in the basement if thats what you mean, i no nothing about mills lool, but it is a great splore with lots of massive open spaces, we went here after we got busted at the papermill ;)

We saw a couple of smaller machines in the basement, but the big ornate ones have disappeared! :cry: but still, like you say, a very nice 'splore. This was a bit of a last minute thing tbh, but glad we made it! ;)
 
Yeah.....It's rather deceptive. I could have spent hours looking through those old pattern books, and your processing has given the place great atmosphere and depth ;)

Thanks bud, I do try to tailor the processing to the place / pic. sometimes it works, sometimes it looks a mess, but I think it worked here.

We actually spent around 4 hrs in the place, so many little bits 'n' bob(bins) :lol::lol:

I reckon they'll still be there ... I'd be very, very surprised if not
 
a lot of the more valuable and unusual machinery was moved last year to protect it from pikeys

if you realy want info on this place contact bungle666 he used to work there
 
Nicely done, you captured the grittiness well…

I was at Bailey Mill a few days ago too, and the basement is virtually empty, so it looks like the carding machines have been dismantled and removed… leaving just a few carding rolls in the corner.
