Report - Rylands Mill, Wigan. June 2020.

[PlanetClare]

This place had such a fun mix of architecture... from the old mill parts, to the more modern from when it was a college.

Absolutely huge too, could have spent so much longer exploring the grounds and the underground bunker on site. Unfortunately we got off a bit early as a load of kids showed up for a rave.

Nice explore, could you just stick mth & year in title bar, just requirements or the forums.

I worked wigan and Leigh college for almost 10 years until 2008 and was definitely the first in pagey and also the Linacre building when it shut down, I still had keys .
We had a mooch around and did the bunker a couple of weeks ago as the council have decided to take over properly securing the site due to lack of action by the landlord.
The bunker will be sealed as well.
