Few weeks back i embarked on a roadtrip which ended up being 522 miles in one day.
The west country was my destination that weekend to go check out a couple of mills.
The first one being Tonedale Mill.
Tonedale Mill, was a large wool factory which was the largest woollen mill in West England. Owned by Fox Brothers, it was most famous for the production of the khaki dye used by the British Army.
The mill was established in the middle of the eighteenth century, and thrived during the industrial revolution. At its peak, around 6,500 metres (21,300 ft) of material was produced at the factory each day. The cheap cost of producing fabric in third-world countries contributed to the factory mostly closing during the 1980s.
This place was a fairly big site and to be honest one of my favorite explores ive done.
