I think I missed some promising open land to one side but the light would have been wrong. This dreadful shot (over the fence with camera held above head blind) shows extensive scaffolding. Nice detailing is visible, especially at high level. The two storey block on the right is full length and was a normal feature of the big spinning mills as this was the preparation section (opening, blowing, carding etc)
