A grave disappointment - an enormous grade II listed integrated cotton mill complex dating back to 1863-65 but derelict, inaccessible, surrounded by trees and just lacking a decent photographic angle. It had been at least partly used by technical college but has now been abandoned. The aerial photo is most impressive.
