| Directions by car |
Approach from the Alan Turing Way if arriving from the North or from Trinity Way if coming via the city centre or the south. Access to Pollard Street is via Beswick street only. Have a good look at the map below, and please don't rely on your sat nav. |
| AWOL Studios are in the Mill just past Kimgary Fabrics. Keep an eye out for directional signs to Adorable Tots who are also based at Hope Mill. When arriving at the Mill you will see the empty grassed area opposite, a banner for Adorable Tots and heavy black metal gates framing a driveway with access to the car park and Mill entrance. There is no visible sign that says Hope Mill - so take a good look at the photo below so you know what the Mill looks like! The car park is accessible down the drive on your right. Please park courteously. |
