After failing at our first 'splore, we headed onto a spur of the moment plan B. Wow we were not disapointed and the disapointment from plan A was well and truly forgotten.
Although this place has been named over & over again, the amount of stuff is incredible, and there is just NO vandalism and that is how it shoud stay! (hence not publicly naming this site). Every time I look at my shots, there is something else to see that i never noticed at the time. It is so overwhealming that you miss half of whats just sitting in the background.
When comparing to other 'splores it is truly amazing how much is 'missing' and how much has generally moved and been 'set-up' (another reason to keep the chavs & metal fairys out).
Anyway, I couldn't find much history of my own on the place, so most of it is already on here in different forms:

Mill L, founded in 1826, became the biggest silk printing, dyeing and finishing works in the world.
Mill L later went on to become a specialist wire wheel manufacturer for classic and modern cars. Established in 1980 the company began manufacturing the steel rim types and wheel centres, which were no longer available at that time. During subsequent years the business developed and improved its range and manufacturing methods, quickly establishing themselves as suppliers to the best restoration shops around the world.
A new range of alloy rims was first developed in the 1990′s, which saw the company outgrow its premises, forcing them to relocate in 2009 to Northamptonshire.
