Volunteers help turn the wheel at Cressingham Mill

Vounteers help to get the Cressingham Mill’s wheel turning for the first time in two years, at the first Industrious Rivers heritage skills and conservation workshops.

The Industrious Rivers project has been busy this month with another event taking place at Little Cressingham Mill. The first of the project’s heritage skills and conservation workshops, project volunteers were given a tour of the mill by Amanda Rix from the Norfolk Historic Windmills Trust, and Peter Goulding, a former millwright who has worked on Cressingham Mill preservation and restoration. Following the tour, volunteers took part in vegetation removal, and getting helping to get the wheel turning, which had been stationary for two years!
