ABANDONED TEXTILE MILL

HUNDREDS of colour coordinated yarns lie abandoned in this once thriving textile mill. The looms have stood unused for decades and the mill’s machinery now rusts away. These images were taken by photographer Dan Circa, 29, after he was intrigued by the old textile mill, located in Tal-y-bont, near Aberystwyth, in Wales. ‘The amount of machinery and objects left behind is just something you don't see every day,’ says Dan, of Manchester.
