"Revealing Oldknow's Legacy" - HLF Officers visit Bid Sites

On Friday 16th August,  members of "Revealing Oldknow's Legacy" HLF bid  Management Board welcomed a member of the HLF Committee, Virginia Tandy and HLF Project Officer, Nick Herepath to tour the three sites of the HLF  project prior to determination of the bid in September.

We now wait with cautious optimism to see if the HLF bid has been successful. 

In the meantime, a Mellor Mill "Fact & Fun" Heritage Day has been arranged on Sunday 8th September. There will be tours of the latest excavations with talks, videos and entertainment for all the family.  For more details see here.
