All Seeing Me

Underneath Blackwater Mill, Navan, Co. Meath

The workings underneath

Another exploration of an abandoned building. This time we didn’t stray too far – just into Navan to visit the Blackwater Mill. It has been abandoned for a long time and was gutted by fire a couple of years back. Situated on the banks of the River Blackwater it must have been an imposing structure in it’s day. Not much left now apart from the walls and the blackened beams.

Outer walls and the burnt timbers

There’s still a few little dark places under all the rubble if you can find your way in. We found what seems to be the heating system or a drying area. Beautiful old arched brick rooms surrounding a furnace which fed heat upwards through tiles with holes.

Brickwork arches around the furnace.

Oh and we weren’t the only visitors there that day. On our way in we met a couple of kids on their way out. They too had cameras :-)

Got there before us....
