Remarks from the uploader

Here are the uploader's remarks on this image, copied from his talk page (he is currently blocked):

Thanks for drawing this to my attention. Of course the images of the same mill but they are not remotely similar. In simple terms the 1983 is a crop showing only the short side of the mill. It fails to illustrate the long side or the range of ancillary buildings to the right which would be the boiler house and the engine house. The 1983 image is of a higher quality but less informative and significantly after 1961 when the mill went electric, and the boilers and the mill engine were no longer used. This image was bot processed in 2017 to lower its resolution. I vaguely recollect the 1983 image being put in the infobox and considering reverting it but concluded that the 83 did illustrate the flavour of the article and the 51 image could safely be moved to a more technical section. We cannot visit it as it has been demolished we know it was built in 1907 and had 3 Tetlow boilers, I can't identify from the image fully, but the placement of the smoking chimney does suggest the ancillary buildings were to do with the engines and boilers- maybe one day a better image will appear! The article was rated as a Start but with hindsight it could be upgraded. ClemRutter (talk) 12:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
