Nailsworth Mill Trails Project
Location: South Gloucestershire
The community wish to record the changes wrought on their landscape by the woollen cloth mills which shaped their environment. They wish to do this by creating a walk along the routes used by generations of mill workers ending at a mill which only closed 15 years ago.
Alongside this, a CD will be produced of the memories of local working life and 2 leaflets to guide the visitor around the area. Information from the research will be presented on information boards in the town and at a nearby mill.
The group will also extend their website and create 2 education packs; one on the resources available at Dunkirk Mill and one on the technical story of the mill.
The group have been offered free space at the mill and wish to promote it as a visitor/education centre. To this end, they are also providing training courses on weaving and on the setting up and maintaining of a loom. Volunteers going on these courses will then be able to provide demonstrations to visitors to the mill.
