History
Situated in the village of Upper Tean, Staffordshire, England, Tean Mill was once the largest tape mill in Europe, producing a variety of fabric tapes - from the webbing for soldiers in the First World War via parachute straps for the Second World War to seatbelts for cars in the 1970's. Production came to an end in the mid 1980's and the mill has been in a state of dereliction since then. Based around the original structure of Tean Hall, the site has a variety of interconnecting buildings covering a 500 year period and offers a fascinating insight to the progress of the industrial revolution. A listed building, it is currently undergoing redevelopment as apartments and housing, bringing it back to its rightful position as the centrepiece of the village.
