Visited with sneak

Looked at this place loads of times now and always put off by the stupid amount of barbed wire on the high brick walls, last night with the help of sneak we got past that,

Next was how to get to the roof to the external fire exit, a quick climb(the bottom had been cut off) and we where on the outside stairs to the top, then a final single ladder to the roof, never done one of these mill ladders before and was expecting it to be rotten to bits but was very solid.





Town hall in distance


Spot the sneak




managed to get inside the mill and have a mooch about for an hour, had to be carefull as this site has got security on the yard ,was mostly stripped as expected to be honest and in impressive condition for such an old building.Previous occupants were vernacare! I liked this mill so im tempted to go back for some better snaps.


Inside


Looking back

Egyptian Mill built 1851 bits of history out there, its an old cotten mill what more you want.

the building is currently awaiting planning permission to be turned into an all girls muslim school what a joke
