Hartford Mill
24.08.12
I broke into Hartford Mill today to take a few photos for my Mill project. The mill is in a pretty bad way and I believe that the only future for it is demolition so I was delighted to take a few snaps before it's brought down.
As I was descending the stairs I came across a group of about 5 boys. Seeing me they became frightened and ran off which concerned me slightly. The factory is in a bad way with some floors already collapsing and the last thing I wanted was for one of the boys to fall and have an accident. Eventually I found the boys hiding and before I got too close I told them I wasn't any authority figure out to get them. There relief was instant, "Fucking Hell I was shitting myself then", one said. We chatted briefly and then went about our separate ways.
Jacko (who was with me) and I chatted about how we used to do the same things when we were kids and there was something nice about seeing kids running round a derelict building.
