I would love to give all information on the mill (location/name and true date although this date is not far from stated), but I'm concerned of the pikey thieving gits getting in and all going to pot !....we started out going to Elland to gain access in to and abandoned Methodist Religious building....megga fail too many peeps just started watching us like we had the plague !, so going on a magical mystery tour of about 1/2 to 3/4 hr later the first words popped out of me to r lass.........'chimney'.....r lass.....'no use without a mill'.........me......'big derelict mill attached'....slam on the brakes park up and find the way in !...going round the back new houses built all over the place leaving this gem directly in the middle....not deterred by this.....and all the windows/doors and openings were fully sealed with big shiny steel sheets.....we eventually found our way in to the first part of the mill.......

Time for the nice find within the cellar .......more to point nice find x3...within the 2nd part of the mill.

That's brilliant - rare to see so much machinery left in places like this, imagine the noise when that was all running - awesome!

You lucky sod - I'd love to work with that sort of stuff. Sadly thou, I fear it's not really a sound career choice these days as I guess the number of these types of machines un use in the UK are probably dwindling now, sad.
