located by the River Robe. A large cut stone industrial mill, it has multiple bays and is seven stories high and built c 1800 on the site of an earlier mill.

How nice to see the remains of an industrious place. I'm guessing it was a textile mill by the size of it. It's amazing, and you captured the whole thing in your shot.
Fantastic looking building. It's a shame it's no longer in use. Are there stairs inside that are safe to climb, or is it completely off limits? (All of the old abandoned buildings near me in Connecticut US are "no trespassing" / "off limits" so I can't go exploring inside, the way I've seen some people in European countries able to do in similar buildings where they are.)
So, you go for archive-photos as well! Me, too, - oh. Do I dare say that anymore? "I do that too." Didn´t you go inside? I once went into an asylum that was to be destroyed, that was some adventure! Dangerous, but really "wow". Hope your day is as sunny as ours :-)
Nice capture and great old building!
ReplyDeleteHi Bill.
ReplyDeleteI love old buildings that keep everything in honor a bit from the past.
Greetings from Patricia.
An impressive building.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Would nice if somebody could bring it to life again in whatever capacity without much detriment to appearance.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very old, nice picture.
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at your photo my eyes lit up. This is the kind of place I like to explore.
ReplyDeleteA lot of hard work went into building that. A monument to the workers of the past.
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of structures seem to be ripe for conversion to high end condos.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness and it's still standing.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a very busy place once.
ReplyDelete...there are many empty mills here too!
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e tenha uma Santa Páscoa.

ReplyDeleteNow That Is Interesting - Would Love A Photoshopped Thunder Storm Spitting Off Some Lightning - Thanx For The Daily Walks Mr Bill
ReplyDeleteCheers
Well now, this one makes me feel real sad. I think of all the people that toiled in there. Come and gone.

ReplyDeleteI looked in the building but didn't walk in it.
DeleteAn impressive building at one point...
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Bill! Hopefully someone saves it from ruin but keeps the beauty intact.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand looking building. It looks like it could be saved and converted into something rather nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely, old building.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked looking at old buildings.
ReplyDeleteWonderful old building and must have been quite impressive in its time.
ReplyDeleteInteresting building. Not in use now?
ReplyDeleteMB
That seems really big for its time.
ReplyDeleteQuerido Bill.
ReplyDeleteAdoro as suas imagens.
Sempre tão inspiradoras.
Um grande abraço.

Great old building.
ReplyDeleteWow, very impressive.

Gosh the old mill is a sturdy looking construction Bill, I can see it still standing there in another two hundred years ✨
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful building
ReplyDeleteThey built them well back then.
