Tragic ending to once great mills Colin, nearly there just a few to go now, cheers .👍

Good narration Colin shame to see the mills go like that.👍👍

[@balaclava8237]

Yeah defo Colin. Banging commentary but historical shame. The quote ‘tragic ending of cotton mills through greed, neglect and ignorance’…..bulls eye. Makes me think hats off to those keeping them going. Sad story Colin, any chance a bit more enlightening one next time please? Gorse Mill for example?
