STOTT PARK BOBBIN MILL, Cumbria. General view lit at twilight. This fully-working mill is a unique survivor of the many Lakeland mills which turned bobbins for the Lancashire textile industry. Using timber coppiced from the surrounding woodlands, it operated commercially from 1835 until 1971, diversifying into products from cotton reels to rungs for naval rope ladders and toggles for Second World War duffel coats.

This print captures the Stott Park Bobbin Mill in all its glory, illuminated by the soft glow of twilight. Nestled in Cumbria, this remarkable mill stands as a testament to the once-thriving Lancashire textile industry. With its fully operational machinery and rich history, it is a true survivor among the many mills that dotted the picturesque Lakeland landscape. Dating back to 1835, this industrial marvel utilized timber sourced from surrounding woodlands for its bobbin production. From cotton reels to rungs for naval rope ladders and toggles for Second World War duffel coats, Stott Park Bobbin Mill diversified its offerings over time. The chimney rises high into the darkening sky, symbolizing both progress and an era long gone - a reminder of Britain's industrial revolution. As night falls upon this historic site, floodlights cast an ethereal glow on every corner of the mill. It is a hauntingly beautiful sight that transports us back in time when industry thrived under moonlit skies. Alun Bull's expert lens has perfectly captured this enchanting moment, inviting viewers to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also the significance of preserving our industrial heritage. The Stott Park Bobbin Mill remains an invaluable piece of British history – a living museum that tells tales of innovation and craftsmanship from days gone by.
