This is an introduction to case studies that show a shared commitment to reimagining historic mills in the north of England, not as relics of the past, but as assets for the future. It will include three talks: a national perspective on mill heritage (Antony Lowe, Historic England), an overview of Mills Transformed and its aims (Neil Horsley of Mills Transformed), and the Pendle Textile Mills Design Code (Rebecca Burrows, conservation architect); and conclude with a question and answer session.
Mills Transformed is a project documenting mill buildings in the north of England which have been restored and repurposed through the passion and determination of inspiring people.
The Lunch Hour is a new series of events including walks, tours and talks aimed at being more inclusive to those who engage with the heritage of Manchester and its wider region but are unable to attend evening and weekend events.
