Hartford Mill and urban decay
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 16 Feb 2008
A former large cotton spinning mill that had reached a very dangerous stage of dereliction before demolition commenced in February 2020. The houses in the foreground were all boarded up and I believe these have now all been cleared away. There is new development in the area and the mill is to be replaced with houses. The photographer's position is approximate due to the changes in the 12 years since this was taken.
