  1. Fine Decor Wallcovering Ltd, Holmes Chapel, England. Established in 1911, it grew into a 10.5-acre works employing around 200 people. Bought by an American firm around 2000, the ageing factory was deemed obsolete.

    The site was finally demolished in 2020/21 to make way for the Victoria Mills new build housing. I explored the site right before it was levelled.

  3. This morning was my first ever sprint #triathlon! In fact my first ever competitive race event of any kind. Really enjoyed this year's #boundarybreezetriathlon near #HolmesChapel, UK. 750m #swim, 24km #cycle, 5km #run. My finishing time won't trouble the current world record, but I was happy with it nonetheless. The mass swim start is a bit of an education. I'd better remember to bring some boxing gloves for my next triathlon...

  4. First swim at #BoundaryWaterPark close to #HolmesChapel. Getting in some prep for the #BoundaryBreezeTriathlon on August 6th. Very nice swim venue, and the weather just about held off too. Swam a total of about 1.4km, testing out a wetsuit vs trisuit only. Difference in times wasn't that big, so i think it's trisuit only for me on the day itself to minimise the T1 transition time. Anyway, good to get a swim there under my belt - I now know what to expect on the day.
