Yes, we lived in Congy at the time. Was a terrible waste of life, sadly people began "urban exploring" in the buildings not long after including the houses of some of the deceased. Super disrespectful. I take it you do H&S/fire compliance or similar?
I guess you are referring to Bosley Wood Treatment? The mill processed sawdust into wood flour and there was a catastrophic explosion a few years back, several of the workers there were killed. You had to see the devastation the explosion caused to believe it - all from wood flour dust.
I used to have a narrowboat and moored at the bottom of Bosley Locks. You could walk along the disused railway from there into the Wood Treatment mill so I knew it quite well.

it won't be mentioned again.
As your photo shows it was like a war zone, it was amazing the number who survived the explosion. It wrecked the cottages next to the mill.Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres (DSEAR) is the training I give where I use it. H&S and Fire safety are part of my work but not all of it.
the fact people explored it is just an indictment of the modern misunderstanding of acceptable behavior.
I saw the devastation. I use it as an example of how bad it could be if you don't understand your hazards.
for anybody who hasn't heard of it.

It looks like the one, it is 17" frame with 26" wheels. My daughter is not particularly tall but she reckons it's comfortable to ride.
