The Albion Mill was built in 1859, in the cotton boom period in NW England.
In 1928, it was re-purposed, along with a number of other buildings, as a sweet factory.
Now one of the biggest manufacturers of kiddies' delights in the UK.
Just this week, I noticed that the original small Albion Mill is being demolished.
Unable to legally fly over for a look, I had to satisfy myself with a Zoom shot with the
Mavic 2 Zoom from 700 metres distance. On a hazy morning, the result isn't great,
but the yellow mechanical demolition machine can just be discerned on the rubble
behind the larger factory in the centre of the frame.
An archive still photo shows the mill as it was.
