Brintons Mills, The Sling, Kidderminster

This little lane was called The Sling and is now largely covered by new development. The mill to the right with the impressive chimney has gone and there is a car park covering some of the area as the Weavers' Wharf. The preserved Slingfield Mills are to the left. The curved building on the right is a 5 storey warehouse, built 1867 and known as the "Piano Building" because the plan view resembles a grand piano (I've only learnt that fact very recently).
