Ainscough Flour Mill, Burscough - May 2010

[BB]

After 2 years thought we would have another visit to this nice mill

Bit of info from the net.

This large mill dominates the flat countryside around Burscough and it's chimney can be seen for miles around. Originally owned by H & R Ainscough, who also owned a mill in Parbold, it was later owned by Allied Mills until it's closure in 1998.
The site has been bought by Persimmon Homes who will be converting the mill into apartments. After 10 years of disuse, the site is starting to decay, and has suffered some vandalism, but is largely intact. However, some plant has been removed, leaving large gaps in the floors, making it dangerous.

Did you do the water tower? The views from up there are tremendous!

Like this one

Surprised to see those fuses still intact. Think they contain silver.
