Spinning Stories. Mills of Mumbai Series: Century Mills - Worli.
After about a century of existence, this is what remains of the Century Mill that occupied prime position in the Worli. The main office of the textile company that owned it continues to function from the office block along with a 'showroom'. The mill closed down in 2006 and the production shifted elsewhere to a place with lower real estate prices. Right now, part if where the mill stood is a beehive of construction making vertical space to justify the price of real estate it stands on. The lobby is lined with cups and shields that were won by the mill and the employees. Including this one that was won in 1996 at the local Kabaddi Tournament. To see the full series, click here.
