REMINDER – Stott Park Bobbin Mill Tour

Just a reminder to get your tickets for this which is THIS Wednesday if you haven’t already….

On Wed, 16 Oct 2024 17:00 – 18:30 BST, we will be having a Stott Park Bobbin Mill Tour and Chunky Veggie Soup. 

This is a special event open to all members, and may be of particular interest to those who would like to supply bobbin wood to The Mill in future. We will cover the process for delivery, payment, timber specifications etc. It will be a nice social event with a useful purpose. If you don’t know Stott Park Mill, it is a fascinating place, deeply connected with woodland management over hundreds of years, having provided millions of bobbins for the Lancashire cotton industry from local coppice rotations.

After the tour, warm up with a bowl of Helen’s Chunky Veggie Soup.

*** UPDATE***: If for some reason the above wasn’t enough to tempt you, I believe Tony is now making some sourdough to go with it. Get in there!!!

Please reserve your place here so Helen knows how much soup to make. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canw-bobbin-mill-tour-talk-and-chunky-veggie-soup-tickets-1031489391537?aff=oddtdtcreator

A bit of history 

We’ve recently been given some photographic slides of a charcoal earthburn by Jack Allonby in Grizedale Forest in 1973. This burn was also filmed, and Brian Crawley has miraculously located a copy on Vimeo so we can all watch it. Here it is: https://vimeo.com/400658539 . Absolute treasure!

We are hoping to do an earthburn next year, to which you’ll all be invited. We’ll also need volunteers. Watch this space!

Or, alternatively, if you can think of something interesting that someone else is doing that you feel they ought to share then please pass on their details so we can establish communication!!!
