Report - Dawsons Mill Skelmanthorpe - December 2021

[waxil]

As I live quite local to this place and now it has the green light for demolition for new houses, we decided it would be a good time to visit.

No security or Dogs appeared to be on-site, but was unable to find our way into the main compound due to nosey neighbours, settled for the smaller "Block C - Finishing Area" and workshop on the bottom side instead...

Didn't see any of that side. Revisit required. Good work there...

U found the best bits IMO, the engineers shop is excellent

Best bits have gotta be the labs and the spinning machines...

[HughieD]

Very sad to see! Heard the news today but was unsure which part it was. Thanks for the update

Hard to work out which bit from the pics

 

[JaffaTB]

It was the upstairs bit with all the spinners

Real shame

 

[HughieD]

Oh no! Not that bit. That's bad news.

Thank you for the update though...

Thanks for the update. Suppose it makes the housing application easier if the buildings are unsafe!! :tongueincheek:

I never got to see that part intact i was very late to this place, nice to see it like that! looks like it was just the end of a normal day ready for work tomorrow, its mad how a place can just be left like that for years on end with everything just as it was, a bit like Fletchers paper mill.

Looks like the housing plans are finally being acted on

This was one of my favorite explores, surprised it lasted so long and was as easy to get in as it was!
