Description

Queen Victoria Mill, was an important jute mill, which today sits in the centre of Blackness Conservation Area, in Dundee. Since 1990, the historic mill has been left to deteriorate and is being quickly reclaimed by nature, with a variety of plants and birds inhabiting the site. It's heartbreaking that this important part of heritage has been neglected, but the contrast between the natural and industrial materials delivers a beautiful, yet foreboding message.
