Proud beasts


Proud beasts, both of them... 
T'chimney - the boiler house chimney at Salts Mill, now without its original ornate top. It's reliably reflected in the near-permanent puddle on the drive into the mill car park. 


And t'lion - the Belwarp lion, immortalised on a stone relief panel on the side of the Mill. Belwarp was a trade name for the high quality, heavy duty, woollen twill serge cloths made in Salts Mill. They were often used for military uniforms, and were advertised as 'guaranteed to maintain their colour against sun or sea in any climate'.
