Report - Wright & Jobson, Bristol Mill Galashiels , Oct 2018

[dweeb]

Not too much on this one, built in 1885 for Wright and Jobson, yarn spinners. Not sure when that wrapped up but it looks like the bottom floor has been used by a garage / car spares place before falling completely empty.

Pretty empty really but the fabric of the building was very un-spoilt and original, and there was the odd bobbin lying around. The top floor had some remains of looms and a lone skep in the corner. There were some good line shafts also still in situ.

A good bonus mill for the trip, that I originally looked at back in 2008 - 09 so good to finally get a look inside!

Not seen this before done nice details. Looks like someone’s been on a road trip.

Nice one mate, I popped in here after I went to St Aidan’s Church back in June but it was getting too dark to photograph by then.

I'm glad that you managed to get some good pictures of "the room"

Bonus mill that was, some decent bits still to see and was worth the detour
