ππ Inside Middleport's Forgotten Flour Mill
I recently flew my drone through one of Middleport's forgotten industrial sites on Milvale Street.
What I first thought was an old potbank turned out to be the historic Port Vale Flour Mill and Middleport Calcining Works β a huge Victorian complex dating back to the 1840s, sitting right beside the Trent & Mersey Canal.
From towering brickwork and iron pillars to rooms left untouched for decades, this place is a fascinating glimpse into Stoke-on-Trent's industrial past.
This is the full 7-minute uncut drone flight with no cropping, showing this hidden piece of Potteries history from angles most people never get to see.
What do you think of this forgotten gem? π
