Old Mill Doorway.

Hi, have you ever noticed a blocked up doorway in what just appears to be a stone wall, on the bottom block of Water Street.

At the bottom of Water Street there used to be a weaving shed known as Melbourne Mill. At one time 600 people worked there! Most of building was demolished after World War II - what was left was used by B.E.L. Fitments. (Think maybe Karrimor had some connection as well afterwards). I am also posting an old photograph showing workers coming out of a mill. I am sure its the same doorway.

Any suggestiONS
