| Notes | This was a long term project as part of
the Heckington Mill renovation project developing a new information centre. There were two strands of research. One group worked with the archivist conserving and cataloguing objects and documents for
the mill’s archive database. Another group conducted research on the
milling families and associated trades. Findings were collating into history folders which will inform the interpretative work for the
information centre. The project team also disseminated findings in
talks and displays as part of a Reminiscence day at the mill and for local U3As
groups. |
