By a bit of sheer coincidence, it was six years to the day since I paid my first visit here when I found myself finally being able to reshoot the place. Access had changed into the site but the general openness of everything definitely hadn't, the only areas myself and @CookieRaider couldn't access were the various small buildings to the east of the boiler house across the stream, which I had looked into six years back but have now been sealed. By and large it hadn't changed much at all since my first visit, just a bit more in the way of graffiti in the weaving sheds and the main mill, the floors in the main mill are also a lot more rotten than they were back in 2015!
Of course the first port of call was the spectacular engine room, it's without doubt the best derelict mill engine room anywhere in the country currently and is a simply gorgeous time capsule. There are three methods of power generation still in evidence - steam, electrical, and diesel - which is very unusual, and in the room attached to it is one of the most well preserved boiler houses I've ever seen - featuring a trio of brick-encased boilers and a more modern standalone unit. I absolutely adore this building, it's by far one of my favourite derelict buildings on any site anywhere and I could quite happily live in it exactly as it is. Currently there is some work going on in the buildings directly across from the boiler house outside the site, parts which had already been put to use as small businesses, so what this may mean for the main mill I don't know.
Thanks for looking
