I had seen this pop up a couple of times, so whilst me and janovitch and man gone wrong were in the area, we gave it a look. The mill has been around since 1870, the bowman family started milling there in 1940. the original watermill was demolished in 1969 and a new mill was built. The mill closed down in 1916 as the company seceded to cease milling operations, the company continues though as an ingredients manufacturing business. You can see extensive damage in the mill were contractors have smashed walls in too move machinery about. But it was a nice place to visit with some nice bits left.

That's a fascinating building.
I'm more used to seeing the concrete type mills with internal silos but this is very different. It appears to be a real rabbit warren of passages and doorways.
Surprised to see cable still in place and did I spy an auction number on something?
I think there'll be more to the site too - the heavier electrical switching for example.
Nice one that.
 
Thank you all for the lovely comments..it sure as a proper maze inside here
