After the successful visit at tonedale main mill it was time to head up the road for the dye house. This place was fantastic and I could have spent all day in here. The machinery in here was just beautiful, traditional old machinery that is just untouched apart from the nature taking over it...
After the mega success at the nearby Tonedale Mill myself and OverArch headed down the road after a quick late lunch. I had been to this fantastic place twice previously but it was Mr. OverArch's first visit and I think he enjoyed it quite a lot.
Even though a lot more graffiti has appeared...
Second time down here (And a 3rd trip planned) as its my type of place. Went to Tone Dale the first time but didn't think what was left was worth the hassle of getting in and my new sparing partner just wanted to go here anyway.
As I said I really like this place and we even found a hidden...

Still pouring it down, still only 10am and muddy everywhere, we left Martyn sleeping in my car (as he came...
Evening all,
This report covers the first part of Tone Mills - the dyeworks. Not all the photos so far but a good mix for the report......
Visited here with 2 non members and camerashy on a very rainy and muddy morning. For me and Martyn, it was about 80 minutes in the car but for the 2 Marks...
