Little bit of history from the internet:



Originally built in the 1820s, Bottoms Mill is one of Holme Valley’s oldest mills. The iconic, 150ft red chimney was added in 1911 and acts as a landmark to this day.

The mill relied on water from the River Holme, which was channelled via a narrow watercourse, known as a goit, into the Bottoms Mill pond. Today, the mill pond and goit remain as a haven for wildlife.

I can't find much other info about this place and only 1 other report, this is a strange place as it seems half is still used as storage but most is just empty with machines and other things stacked up all over, still a good explore i spent about 2 hours in here trying to find a way into all the different areas








The Explore:

I'd had this pinned for ages and finally decided to pay it a visit, access was a little tricky as each area seemed sealed off from the next until i found my way into the main area, once inside it was pretty open so i made my way round the various areas, there has been some effort put in to make it difficult to navigate round in here with cages and big concrete lego blocks blocking areas off but with a look around you can find a less obvious way in.

I was told when I posted it was ok to stay in public, but think they maybe should be moved as its part live.

TBh I always thought Dawsons was better myself & that has been public for years

Both pretty much had their time about 5 years ago didn't they. We put both on the forum 8 years ago. It's been very largely emptied and trashed since... although I will admit it still looks pretty decent in these pictures... the newest bit that LBE got into is possibly the highlight now.

Part live is a bit of a stretch. It's very much only accessed when they're clearing bits out. The complex has loads of little businesses about but none have much impact on this part of the site.

Yeah don't bother me either way hence why I waited several years before posting, it's @urbandonedthat seem concerned

There are multiple businesses that have been operating out of parts of it for a long time. What you want to do is focus on the derelict bits and not the active stuff.

It never was very derelict and It has had some work to secure it since it was on the tourbus a few years ago. You cant get charged with trespassing tho. Id get some legal advice.
