Albeit in a slightly different location, our funny little mill was once sketched by Turner. Having severed one worker's arm and seen-off a highly unfortunate woman, it finally succumbed to flame in 1909. Hopefully we'll add another layer to centuries of history here with last week's granting of full planning permission for extensive alterations.

Finished mostly in burned black larch, this new structure may still look a ruin. And, if obtaining permission was tough, getting the thing up on a slender budget could prove even tougher. Still, we're celebrating. These are Edward's original sketches; insufficient for builder's measurements but good enough for building impressions!
