Well, what can i say. Had a call earlier in the week off Cunningplan, do I fancy a mooch up this mill, Ha! stupid question really. Anyway,plans were made and Cunningplan picked me up at the crack of dawn, i was still a bit sleepy walking passed him parked up in his car at 5.00am

We arrived before the village had awoken and made our entry through the wide open doors. This place is huge, when we got inside there was a dilemma of where to start, so we made our way up to the top and worked our way down.

I thoroughly enjoyed this location and getting caught coming out was the only slight headache, all in all we had a great time. Roll on the next...

This is a small bit of history that I pinched from a prior report:-

Quote :
Healing's Mill is an imposing Victorian steam-powered mill on the banks of the River Avon. This river once brought barges loaded with corn here from the docks at Avonmouth. Most of the original barges, which were named after local villages, have been sold, but other larger barges were used as recently as the 1990s to bring European wheat from the coast at Sharpness. The mill was built for Samuel Healing in 1865 by W H James, but the massive South wing was added in 1889.

It was closed in November 2006 and its future remains uncertain with large structural issues affecting the silo building

Hope you enjoy the pics ....

Cheers CP, im quite pleased with the ones posted but there were a few that I should've done better with. We can always call back for the missed shots ;)
 
I hate getting pinched, leaves a nasty bruise, some of those secca folks are complete sodding animals. Great Post, I enjoyed it, Thanks.
