There is little history on this place, the village of Compstall had a mill during the cotton explosion of the Victorian times and George Andrew built houses for the workers.
That was in 1820 and a lot of the architecture still stands, the mill was closed but rejuvenated into units for smaller industries like craft, photography and even a funeral directors!
These shots are the result of 2 trips made, the first one had to be cut short due to dwindling light and I missed out on the main building. The site is huge!
So I returned and completed the explore.
As for the site - plans of regeneration are on the cards but have not yet materialised.
How Did they get this down there, the stairs I used were tiny!
I loved these ornate supports, they were throughout the site and I've never seen them anywhere else!
Looking up! This section was below ground level!
Heating!
Robot?
That roof though...
A Fork lift!
In the roof! Too sketchy to enter.
Checks?
The site! It was a maze that seemed to go n for ever!
