SE6232 : BOCM Pauls mills, Selby
taken 13 years ago, near to Barlby, North Yorkshire, England
BOCM Pauls mills, Selby
This animal feed and vegetable oil complex is now largely disused. the chimney is on a big modern boiler house that is now abandoned. The tower was on a laboratory building that is now boarded up.
On the opposite side of the railway is a complex that included an oil extraction mill that used hexane as the solvent and was powered by a 1930 Brown Boveri steam turbine with rope drives. This is all derelict now and the urban explorers have photographed the plant. I visited here many years ago when it was working but, due to the flammable nature of hexane, photography was banned, as were electronic watches.
