The overhang of the building is so impressive to look at with the entrance underneath. It feels like the hull of a very big ship. When you walk under it to go through the entrance it is so overpowering.
Millenium sculpture installed in St Helens, Lancashire, UK. It also has a staircase which wraps around the lower section. This image was taken to capture the reflected sunrise colours and attractive sky.
So, I really hate this thing during the day, but at night, it's soooo BEA-utiful. The lighting is just right. Props to the artist who conceived it.
Closed in 1992, the granary of the Millennium Mills still stands. It is likely to be converted into apartments. The smaller building to the left of the Millennium Mills was once the Rank Hovis Premier Mill.
The current (and derelict) Millenium Mills building dates back to 1934, built for Spillers Ltd, replacing the original mill constructed in 1905 for William Vernon & Sons millers (the mill was named after a blend of flour that won the 1899 'The Miller Challenge Cup'). The mill, and two neighbours, were sited on the dock to allow grain imported from oversea to be ground into flour as soon as possible. The mills were badly damaged in the Second World War, reopening in 1953 and continuing until the 1980s, the end brought about following the closure of the Royal Victoria Dock.
The Victoria Dock opened in 1855 (the 'Royal' was granted in 1880). This was the first dock designed to accommodate steam ships, the first with rail links to the national rail network and the first to use hydraulic machinery.
By 1860, the shipping was estimated to total 850,000 tonnes, larger than any of the other London ports. Although badly damaged throughout the Second World War, the Royal Victoria Docks were restored and returned to its former strength. The decline came in the 1960s with containerisation and larger ships shifting traffic to Tilbury. The docks closed in 1980.

Sweet Home Chicago.....These kids were playing in the water at Millenium Park. It was amazing to see the different cultures and the way that children do not care about what color their friends are. They just know that they are fun to play with. Maybe we can all learn something from our children.
