Callam Knight, alias ‘Knight Time Photography’, runs the Facebook page ‘Just Northern Original’, and posts incredible images from inside abandoned and unused buildings across the UK, including many from Chesterfield.

Here we showcase some of the photos he took while exploring the derelict buildings of Walton Works. The mill buildings were designated Grade II listed in September 2004.

Consent for planning was given in 2017, but as of yet, no progress has been made.

The £56million ‘Walton Mill’ development, will see the restoration and conversion of the grade II* listed Walton Works building and Mill Terrace.

This proposal is for a mixed use hybrid, planning and listed building applications for approximately 3803sqm of retail floor space, but also including a public house and residential development.

The Walton Works building is the former Robinson healthcare factory.
