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

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Stott Park Bobbin Mill in Cumbria stands proud against the twilight sky, its ancient chimney casting an eerie silhouette against the fading light. The mill, a survivor of the many Lakeland factories that once turned bobbins for the Lancashire textile industry, is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, illuminated by the floodlights that cast long shadows across the ground. The industrial revolution brought about a significant transformation to the landscape of England, and Stott Park Bobbin Mill is a testament to that era. Operating from 1835 until 1971, this fully-working mill played a crucial role in the textile industry, producing an array of products from cotton reels to rungs for naval rope ladders and toggles for Second World War duffel coats. The mill's unique charm lies in its use of locally sourced timber coppiced from the surrounding woodlands. The trees were not only a source of raw material but also played a crucial role in the sustainable production process. The mill's reliance on local resources and its ability to adapt to changing market demands are a reflection of the ingenuity and resilience of the people who worked there. As the sun sets and the night descends, the mill's dark silhouette stands in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape. The chimney, once a symbol of industry and progress, now stands as a reminder of the rich industrial heritage of Cumbria. The illuminated mill, with its dark and mysterious allure, invites us to explore the stories of the past and the people who shaped it. This photograph by Alun Bull, taken from Historic England's collection, captures the essence of Stott Park Bobbin Mill, a unique survivor of the industrial revolution that continues to captivate and inspire us.
