First set from me from the Englandshire trip, this particular morning we met up with BadBatz and Drinkinbud at particular Hospital but were quickly spotted by secca, and couldn't find a very easy way in, so decided to head of to try somewhere else. Derp Chapel No. 2 was also not an option. Arrived at Derp Mill No.3 of the day and again couldn't seem to find a way in, but also rudely interrupted by a Security guard seeking out details, sadly we all forget them and walked off.

Onto Derp No.4 where to our surprise the contractors had moved in, onto site No.5 which actually went smoothly, but this Wool Mill, Derp No.5 of the day was my favourite. Also had it confirmed on good word that this is also BadBatz's favourite explore right after St. Lukes Hospital :lol:

Quite late in the day and running out of light we dashed around this place getting many long exposures, sadly didn't get to fully explore the offices where all there is lots of bits and bobs left behind!

History is very brief but it appears this place was a last home to a Wool Spinning company but has been empty since 2003.

On with the pics..

There are loads of baskets full of stuff, the offices had so much bits and bobs left behind from books and ledgers to samples etc! Was a great explore!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! (y)
