There are some interesting views from Salts Mill's windows. This is from the third floor of the West Mill, looking out towards Victoria Road and the Victoria Hall.
On the other side of the wing, there is a lovely view of the New Mill's ornate tower.
Somewhere out the back, I was interested in the fancy ironwork. I've no idea what these brackets were used for, nor why they should be so ornate. (Although I think that's just the way they did things years ago. Why make it plain when it could be more attractive?)
Intriguing. I have no idea what these brackets are for, but obviously they belong together. Perhaps there was originally rather more to it, possibly made of wood which has succumbed over time. Maybe flag brackets?
ReplyDeleteHow great to have views framed by the windows...I think you're on to something good.
ReplyDeleteAll rather grand; though I don't suppose the original mill-workers had much time to admire the views. Maybe you can find some old photographs that solve the problem of the mystery brackets.
ReplyDeleteThe brackets are intriguing!
ReplyDeleteThat is an odd place for them. I've got a couple of old cast iron ornate brackets, and use them to support a planter box. Surely that's not the case with these.
ReplyDeleteViews through windows can reveal a lot as you have shown here. The top flatness of the brackets would suggest their former use was to support something, but what is the question.
ReplyDeleteSplendid views.
