While we're waiting for the move, a stroll into history

I know we're all jumping out of our skin wanting to know when we can plan to move, but no word at the moment. So courtesy of this website on heritage and trains, here's some interesting history of the Harbour Mill building.

It's not easy to see, but the wagon outside the building in the first picture is horse-drawn. And you can see the little shed in the top right of the building which will be fully restored in the new HM. It's where the wheat or flour was lifted into the building from the rail below.

So while we'll have this modern building, it's good to know some connection to its heritage has been retained, and let's hope they also restore the weighbridge which is still at the bottom of the building.
