Title
Acre Mill, Old town - DAH00217
Description
The Hare and Hounds Inn is in the foreground and Acre Mill in the background. The mill was originally built as a textile mill but was taken over by Cape Asbestos in 1939. The company moved to Westmorland in the 1970s leaving a legacy of crippling asbestos disease in its workforce and contaminated landfill sites. The main mill was sealed and demolished in 1979, although the part at the rear was used as a plant maintenance depot for a while before that was finally demolished in the 1980s.
The building on the left was the former canteen for Acre Mill and is the only part of the mill complex remaining, the remainder of the site has since been landscaped.
