Hope the photo file sizes are good as I had to reduce them due to the cap.
Brockmill first began operations around the mid-1700s and further expanded when the Earl of Balcarres bought the mill and built a furnace at Haigh foundry half a mile downstream.
The two sights prospered building large steam cylinders and fire engines also building the first locomotive for Lancashire, and plenty more to follow.
Later the mill expanded into brick and textile making, however, the works closed in 1885 more recently the mill was used for the production of herbal medicine
Unfortunately, i found no date as to when production stopped
I'm sure you'll agree though guy's it's a wonderful explore in a serene location.
