North Vale Mill

Taken from my conservatory I can only see the top of the mill from my place,
The mill was built in 1872 and is stll in production
North Vale Doubling Co. ltd is a family owned and managed textile business which was established in 1872. North Vale Mills was built by 3 brothers who left the family farming business in seek their fortune by setting up as cotton traders, they originally traded as the ‘Stott Brothers’ and undertook both spinning and twisting of cotton for the local weaving industry, during the second world war the services of North Vale were called upon to supply yarn for parachute manufacture.

Interesting and great color balance. Gives it a very mystical feel to it.

What a great touch given the misty fog. You've captured the eerie feeling expertly. Amazing that a mill that "experienced" is still in production. They made 'em good in the old days!
