Holywell Mill ON FIRE, Ashby
Image: © Oliver Mills Taken: 13 Feb 2018
One of Ashby's most well-known (yet neglected) landmarks, being destroyed in a severe fire. The building was in a semi-derelict condition for several years, before being bought by a housing developer. It was due to be demolished in the next few weeks, but the presence of bats prevented this. This is the worst fire in Ashby for many years, however the fire was later tamed, and the site was safely cordoned off from the public.
