Dobroyd Mill - Jackson Bridge, Huddersfield (J2019) explored with @jaws After seeing this recent report on the Dobroyd mill culvert, I decided to check some old SD cards to find some images I had never posted on here (and haven't seen in years!) Explore: As these were discovered on old SD...

History Copied from another thread (thanks OP) Dalton Grange stands on or near the site of a house which, in 1854, was called View Cottage and which, in the early 19th Century must indeed have had a splendid view northeast over the lush water-meadows of the Colne to the wooded hillside of the...

A fascinating site, located in Marsden, I really enjoyed walking through this cotton mill, believed to be shut in the 80's. The amount of bat's here was incredible, they flew around you in big packs like watching a flock of birds. Overall not much is originally left anymore except a few bits...
