The Old Woollen Mill



This is part of the old Woollen mill - it used to be quite a big industry here, but this one closed down years ago and it is now being pulled down and turned into housing. I wish I could get close to it to take some pics, but it has a thumping big fence around it. I had to use my 70-200 lens to get this shot.

I like that pic, typically not into that kinda picture - but this one really works for me. Great job on the white!

This is such a cool photo! That place looks like it has tons of character. It seems pretty run down, but at the same time, it's kind of a shame to see things like this torn down. (From a photographer's perspective, I guess!) LOL!

Too bad you couldn't get in close. It looks like it would be fun to "play" with. Cool shot.

Great photo... Looks like a fun place for a shoot! Like someone else said, sort of sad to see "progress" at work...

Wow, I didn't realise they were pulling it down, it was such a sad day when it shut down. Great to have some shots of it before it finally goes compleely.

Great pic! Would have been fun to get some close ups...darn fences! I love the sky in the background!
