๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿงต Photos from some of the old woollen mills forgotten in a sleepy village in Wales.

Their story, spanning over 150 years, follows the Welsh textile industry from the Industrial Revolution boom to the fall of the British textile industry in the mid-20th century.

The forest is slowly engulfing these ruins, as they are collapsing. However, inside are the skeletal remains of old machines, still strung with woollen threads, sitting frozen in time.

@ObsidianUrbex slightly off topic. My grandfather came from Ireland in the 1880s and worked as a bobbin boy in the silk mills of Paterson NJ
@ObsidianUrbex The unguarded drive belts are an uncomfortable reminder of how bad worker safety was in the mills
