What a lovely setting..Already I am loving this place and I have not been inside yet!

Very similar to the buildings at Gloucester docks.

Built for Samuel Healing in 1865,grain was brought here from Avonmouth.

So we beam ourselves in to the rear of the site to behold what was probably the vehicle maintenance workshops with fuel pumps to the right.

Our guide informs us there were more buildings here used for storage but have since closure have been demolished.

You can see where those buildings were tacked on including the massive almost gone warehouse to our right.

Silos

Bizarrely,the traffic lights are still on!

These two buildings were added some time after the original ones as the technology advanced for producing the flour.

So,let us take a gander inside then...

My first glimpse of the many pieces of hardware still left here.

We climb the many many stairs up taking in several views of the levels where the floors have fallen through.

I am thinking these floors may have been deliberately removed to access valuable machinery for either sale or scrap value.

We arrive on the top floor to see some pipe porn.

I appreciate the pipework having once been a pipe fitter in my youth.

Lovely long radius formed piping to allow fast flow of flour.

Quick look out at where we are..very picturesque.

River Avon looking west.

Panorama view.

Sight glass for checking if the flour was flowing properly.

But we now head down a ladder to below
