Some of you may have already seen this one. This is a nice paper mill closed down almost a decade ago. There are many photos of this place when it was still active, and some of them were taken when the factory had been occupied by workers right after the closure...
It's a rather good place...

My Visit
I had been wanting to visit the mill for some time, however, I kept pushing this one aside...
Had the chance to revisit everyone's favourite power station a few months ago. Yep, still doable! It was good to get in and grab some shots with the lights on. Nothing you haven't seen before, with the possible exception of some original Control Room Feeder Log Sheets we found in there - Dated...
The history of Robert Fletcher & sons paper mill dates back to the industrial revolution. The company was once owned by Ralph Crompton and Nephews, producers and bleachers of paper. Their first mill was located in Stoneclough, Manchester.
The death of the Crompton brothers left the mill...
The company was founded as a straw-paper mill in 1859. After the sale in 1873, the production were extended in 1880. The houses for the workers emerged 1912. After the Second World War worked more than 300 employees in the paper mill. Each year, 15 to 20 papermakers were trained.

A power plant from a former paper mill, which was closed in the 90s. I’ve visited this place four times, but most of my pictures aren’t processed yet. These photos are from July 2013, wich shows absolutely not everything from this big area.

Off we...
This place is being dismantled very quickly so redevelopment work can begin.

Visited with Landie. Apologies for this being late, it's just me being lazy and putting it off until now.
In another one of the adventures with me acting as a guide for him, we hit Fletcher's Paper Mill, safe in the knowledge that access was still there and it was (fairly) easy to do. We both...
Northern Trip Part 4 – Robert Fletchers Paper Mill (Oldham)
So, continuing to try and cheer myself up; I went on a long awaited Northern Tour with my close friend TBM. After replacing his rig he very kindly gave me his now not needed Sigma 10-20 lens.
Unfortunately we did not notice...
