Remember we were asked by Temple Works to help them document the final days of the famous, but derelict for years, Temple Works?

Temple-Works-Tour03

Which was once one of Leeds’ most important mills, making flax (whatever that is); and being famous for a) having the first lift in the world, b) having the largest room in the world, c) being designed with a fine Egyptian facade and d) for having sheep grazing on it’s grass roof.

Well it’s slipped into disrepair a bit.  A fixer-upper if ever there was one.

On it’s last days before clearing out all the junk, in anticipation of redevelopment, Rob Booker, Phil Barber & I dropped by.  I filmed on my 5dMKII and the boys photographed the detrius.  While I’ve been sunning in Sicily, Snr Booker chopped these spooky 3 minutes together…

Cool eh?
