Garett Snuff Mills

Only about a five minute drive from my house. Please excuse the terrible quality of the pictures. They were taken with my phone. I know about the history about it up until the 1950's. it started as a snuff factory and was eventually turned into a tile factory and then sold to someone to be turned into offices. it was then abandoned due to constant flooding. In some of the pics you might be able to see the level of mold about halfway up some of the walls. Apparently now they want to demo it and turn it into a park within the next year or so.

the blurry/graininess in a couple of the pics actually seems to give it kind of a dream-like effect. You need to find a velcro suit and go back to that velcro wall.
I wish they could preserve places that have old brickwork like that. You just dont see as much of that being built anymore.

when your standing outside it from certain angles and you can see the brickwork coupled with the still in tact window panes, it almost gives off a kind of old-timey train station feel. they better not demo it. Oh, also, I forgot to note that picture 16 is of the leg of a deer on a cupboard door. I search for hours but never found the rest of the deer.

Or maybe all of it, newer part too?
