This scene was photographed on the Leeds-Liverpool canal near the town of Nelson, Lancashire, in the North-West of England. The building is one of many former textile mills situated along this canal, most of which are now derelict since the cotton industry, once the main source of employment in this area has declined to almost nothing. Many former mills have been demolished and others are being converted into flats / apartments. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

This large building (only part of which is visible here) once provided employment for people all over Pendle district. It was owned by Smith & Nephew and by BSN Medical Supplies in the past. It has been derelict for a number of years but has now been purchased by the local council for "Re-Development", possibly for conversion into flats (USA = "appartments") which is what is being done with others in the area.
