The mill in the background as so many memories for. I could see this from my bedroon window each morning when I lived on Cheetham Fold Road. I remember it as a working mill and then it was shut for years. I played inside it, and explored every nook and cranny. I found my first barn owl's nest in the old boiler house. Where it said Gee Cross at the top a brick was missing and a Kestral nested there. I have watched the sun rise and set from the roof. I was sad to see it pulled down, but what is there now is more pleasing to the eye. Great Post
