Lovely blue skies over what is probably Manchester's oldest surviving textiles mill. Medlock Mill started spinning cotton in 1794 but today stands disused and derelict under threat of major demolition works.

A monograph with my name on! 🤯 - Results of a project at Swinnow Park, Wetherby that I worked on between 2021 and 2022
Safe to say I'm pretty chuffed.

Impromptu site visit last Friday to Fowberry Tower, Northumberland. (grade ii*). Originally a 15th Century tower house heavily altered and extended c.1776 and with a new south front added 1809 in Gothick Revival style [pictured]. Sadly I couldn't get any closer.
