What's on at Bourne Mill

Join us at the University of Essex on the 16 January 2016 10am - 4pm for a free public conference (held on the Colchester campus) will explore the rich history of Bourne Mill and the role that it, and the people connected with it played in the local and regional community. Expert speakers will discuss the key themes of mills and milling; textiles and fashion; and social history. We will also unveil a set of bicycle-powered fulling stocks, reconstructed as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund project on the Mill's history.
