The other Sunday I called into Tewksbury to have a walk down by the canal, I notice they had opened behind the mill into a car park, I also noticed the main door was wide open. There was a police car across the river and after the police came out of mill they got in, drove around the car park and drove back out. While I was walking back to the car 3 boys came out of the building and legged it into the town.

I decided it would be worth a look but to big to do alone so in the week I contacted a none member and asked if he wanted to go.

5am last Saturday we were off to have a good look. After about 4 hours we were packing up and my went out the door, I could hear him talking to someone and went out to face a slightly niffed owner, he accused us of breaking the door down and I said it was already open, he just kept going on and when a police car went into the canal car park he started walking towards it, we followed until he turned right, we just walked straight on into the town and had a coffee.

When we went back to the car he was still securing the door. It was the only entry/exit point so we don't really know how we would have got out if we had been in there any longer. I called it "Pigeon Mill" due to vast amount of dead pigeons around the place.

We were going to take some external shots on the way out, but we just didn't get the chance.

Not seen Healings for a while, they've done a good job dismantling a lot of the stuff in the main building when I last checked it when it was underwater a year and a half ago it was all neatly put on pallets out the back, I'm guessing that's all been shipped off now. Might have to give it another wander soon as I never got round the entire place before!

Rather you than me, I don't get worried that often but the guy was a pain.

If you look at my flicker, there was a auction not long ago by the look of it and there was a lot sold off, most left have n/s written on the labels.

Good stuff mate. Very apt name for the place, especially with the decomposing bird shot. Nice share!

Nice shots there , well captured cunning and good to see how its looking now. :D

Mooks your comment made me think of when me and Trog went here after a night underground

I think we popped into GT then here and the whole place was flooding quickly and we had to bail from the place or pirate up a boat lol.

Cool share (y)
