📍 Birks Mill

A historic textile mill located in Walsden, Todmorden, West Yorkshire. The original mill dates from 1796 and was rebuilt in 1822 following a fire. The site was previously owned by the Crossley family. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the mill operated as a cotton-spinning, worsted, and bobbin factory

The building is constructed from stone with a “piecemeal” design, including multiple additions and intersecting roofs, typical of Pennine industrial buildings.

I enjoyed this solo explore due its position by the canal and where it was but also finding the little treasures inside ❤️

IM Marsh Campus John Moores uni, closed in 2021 after more than a century as a physical education and sports hub, the iconic site was put up for sale by LJMU for housing

This was a really fun explore and extensive. From swimming pools to PE Halls and gym to the main building and everything in between. Also, easy access

📍Porth Wen Brickworks

A special one this one, more to celebrate solstice and the position of it by the sea, than the actual building but it’s quite a magical place and I’m sure anyone that has been would agree ❤️✨

Porth Wen Brickworks is a derelict Victorian silica brick factory on the northern coast of Anglesey. Famous for its three photogenic beehive kilns and crumbling chimneys, the site sits in a remote, rocky cove surrounded by turquoise waters. ❤️

Built in the 19th century by Charles E. Tidy, the factory produced durable yellow silica firebricks used to line high-temperature steelmaking furnaces. Production permanently ceased in 1949. The bricks are still scattered around and are often used for campfires.

📍 Weetwood police station

An explore from a few week ago took us to this police stn in Leeds now waiting to be demolished to make way for a 127 new flats. It closed its doors in 2020.

Trashed and open (but still a lot of fun) we made our way into the building. With some features left including of course the cells, and some props remaining from when it was a BBC film set where it was “The central Yorkshire Police” station.

Happy wkd everyone! Looking like a warm one xx
