    A proper though explore, great to see how it ALL came together.
    And temperate rainforest flora thrown in free. Always adds to the atmosphere and vintage of a place, even though you don't usually notice it at the time.

    Hi Steve, despite being subscribed for a while, I've not commented before now. Even before hearing you encouraging people to comment within this video, I knew today was the day to leave a comment.
    I just wanted to say that your channel is in my top five channels to watch. I love the content! It brings a nostalgic feel as I've always loved walking through and investigating abandoned industrial sites. Due to life's hectic schedule, I just don't get the chance to get out for a 'nosey' anymore. Watching your videos is genuinely my perfect way to relax. It beats watching mainstream T.V hands down. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to new videos.....as I'm sure many others do. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and have a great Christmas 👍🏻
    Dan.

      Thank you so much. I’m very happy you enjoy this channel, and very pleased you have commented. Comments and thumbs up really do help with the RUclips algorithm stuff. I don’t always remember to ask people myself in vids. If I didn’t make these videos, I would still go out doing it. It’s my thing ya know. Especially this type of Noseh in this video. A mill, with undergrowth equals a very happy Steve! Happy Christmas, and a very happy new year.

Then the Big wheel plus driveshaft and other shafts and gears were incredible. We are like you imagined how the people involved in the day to day running of the place, how long or many hours etc. We actually stayed on a campsite not too far away from there about 10 years ago. On another note have you ever seen the film the train with Burt Lancaster? About halfway through there is a German soldier who is the spitting image of you lol even my wife agreed?

Whilst CADW and the National trust do a lot, a lot of Wales history is rightly or wrongly depending on your view just left to the elements. I've never had the security and `get off my land` types there, bit of fencing is simply there to warn you going in, it's old and could be unsafe.

I used to work at gec in rugby in the 80s, a massive site where Frank Whittle had had some workshops, which has now been mostly demolished and James Watts old place at the Soho foundry in Smethwick for Averys scales going through the massive gates and past the cottages where watt did his design work.
