Fine Decor Wallcovering Ltd, Holmes Chapel, England. Established in 1911, it grew into a 10.5-acre works employing around 200 people. Bought by an American firm around 2000, the ageing factory was deemed obsolete.

The site was finally demolished in 2020/21 to make way for the Victoria Mills new build housing. I explored the site right before it was levelled.

"This was the site of Harry Styles’ first public performance, and so closing it would be akin to closing the Cavern Club in Liverpool."

#Day147 of #365HappyDays : dinner out in #HolmesChapel with a couple of friends tonight who wanted to treat me to a #steak as thanks for making sure they didn’t die on our paddleboarding trip to Scotland recently. #NobodyDied has become our indicator of a successful day/event/trip/dinner/anything now. No matter how shit something might have been, if nobody died it’s been a good result. 🙂
This morning was my first ever sprint #triathlon! In fact my first ever competitive race event of any kind. Really enjoyed this year's #boundarybreezetriathlon near #HolmesChapel, UK. 750m #swim, 24km #cycle, 5km #run. My finishing time won't trouble the current world record, but I was happy with it nonetheless. The mass swim start is a bit of an education. I'd better remember to bring some boxing gloves for my next triathlon...
First swim at #BoundaryWaterPark close to #HolmesChapel. Getting in some prep for the #BoundaryBreezeTriathlon on August 6th. Very nice swim venue, and the weather just about held off too. Swam a total of about 1.4km, testing out a wetsuit vs trisuit only. Difference in times wasn't that big, so i think it's trisuit only for me on the day itself to minimise the T1 transition time. Anyway, good to get a swim there under my belt - I now know what to expect on the day.
