Visited here with Lost after a epic failure (me tripping of a PIR) at a rather nice location a few miles away, we arrived at this place, not the most pretty, but for the one room in this place it will make me go back for sure!

Not posting any of the history of this place, but this Jute and Flax mill closed around the mid 70's and has laid idle since, pretty much unchavved execpt the odd broken window.

The entry route we had planned was no longer viable as the river was in full surge with all the snow melt, it was mental how fast it was flowing!

No machines left unfortunately, but still nice rooms kicking about.
