In the event of fire...........

FRIDAY

Apologies for the lack of comments, but it's been a busy week at work and I've been working all hours on various fire and health and safety related documents.

This derelict blanket making mill is in the bottom of the valley at West Vale. It's been used for filming by BBC and other film companies. It seem to be a good place for dumping dead bodies.

I wouldn't fancy having to use the fire escape  particularly now as the bottom section no longer exists - it terminates at third floor level (see extra).

More about West Vale Mills here.

Established in 1850 as steam-powered worsted-spinning mill. First building, a spinning shed, no longer extant. Complex comprises six-storeyed twenty-bay pedimented mill, timber-floored over a fireproof ground floor which includes internal boiler house, attached engine houses (one for a beam engine, a later one for a vertical engine, storeyed warehouses, single and double-storeyed shed, offices, including time office, and dwellings). Mill run as worsted-spinning factory by John Maude and Co until being taken over c1897 by John Horsfall and Sons and converted to manufacture of woollen blankets.
