There's trouble in t'mill

'Lancashire was once the work horse of England.'

That was a phrase often used by my Grandad as he recalled stories of the mills of Blackburn.  The bulk of Lancashire's mills have now gone and the few that remain are either in a derelict state or are being used as museums, retail outlets etc.

One mill, until recently remained in operation.  Not as a cotton mill as such but as manufacturing base for medical supplies.  Unfortunately, the mill closed around two years ago but there is a move to re-develop building for several different usage.

Since October, last year, I got permission to go behind the scenes and document the changing face of this leviathan of a building.  These are a couple of images from a recent shoot.
