Visited this place twice once on my own then went back with rubex.as I pulled up here the first time there was a couple of work vans outside.so I got out my car and ask if I could take photos.which they very kindly let me do.the building was originally a workhouse.it housed about twenty three workers in there who would man the looms.they slept upstairs in segregated rooms at the end of the day.the place changed hands several times and was finally owned by a music teacher.i don't know if it was the last owners or a previous owner,but they were into witchcraft with lots of books and artefacts in the house.the house laid derelict for many years.and most of the stuff in there was what was left behind.the two brothers who own it are going to slowly restore it into two residential houses and retain the original features.out the back is a very old well.and stables.and there is what looks like a very old long shed but it was actually an old brewery with one of the first tin roofs on it.the brewery is older than the house itself.
