A pleasant October day with a view from an old railway line showing some elevation. The closest dark mill with the flagpole on the side of the tower is Wellington Mills, now demolished. The chimney and red brick tower are on New Victoria Mills (name according to Williams and Farnie - Cotton Mills in Greater Manchester). The distant mill on the left is apparently still standing (google satellite image 12/08).
