    Thanks, Rodpiker! We have a nice old mill like this on one of our local Trout Rivers, they turned part of it into a lovely Irish Pub. I am praying it survives this Covid business.

    Wonderful Flight, Rod. Thank you for sharing the Old Linen Mill Co. It is a shame they the building has fallen into disrepair. This site will hopefully be brought back to life, as you mentioned-such a lovely setting. Nicely Done, Ron, and the soundtrack was quite fitting. You take care.

    You made a good job of showing that Rob with some lovely angles. You don’t often see permissions being given so that was good of them. Just think of the thousands of people who must have worked that mill. I wonder if any of them are still with us. There are some memories in that place for sure 👍

    • @RODPIKERDRONESUK
      @RODPIKERDRONESUK  3 роки тому +1

      Days gone by if walls could talk Ken i would say there is a few people around still that worked in the mill i hope the owners get the plans passed and breath new life into the old mill.

    Hello Rodney, great flying, and filming. That was a big mill. Just like the mills in Ireland closing, because of low cost manufacturing in Asia.
    The same thing happened in the southern U.S. Most of them here were torn down. The one you flew is a very large one. I flew one myself about a year ago. I think most of the closings were in the 80's here. Have a good week. mike

    Rod, a great view of such an important part of our industrial heritage. An enormous building and you could picture 2,000 people working there. Loved the close up shots of the building with the random panes of glass still intact, the ivy working its way over the brickwork and the birds that have taken up residence coming and going. Hopefully the structure of the building will remain with apartments being built.

    I knew it well at one time. I was born in Banbridge just a few miles away. It is massive. The linen industry was massive but it's all gone now along with all our traditional bread and butter industries. All gone to the Far East. I ofetn wonder wh the people were that worked there and what happened to them and their communities after they lost their jobs. Excellent footage RDUK!
