Fosters Mill 150th Anniversary Appeal
We are delighted to announce two major steps forward in our 125th Anniversary
Appeal. Firstly, a large donation has been received from the Foster family who
owned the mill from 1896 to 1970 for which we are extremely grateful. Secondly,
we have produced a lovely Christmas Card or Greetings Card (same picture, blank
inside) which is now available.
The cards are available from the mill or from the Red Lion pub (by kind
permission of Dave & Lorraine during opening hours). There are two standard
sizes of pack (including envelopes) - 40 cards for £20.00, or 12 cards for
£7.50. If you would like a different number of cards, please call the Windmill
on the number below to order and arrange collection.
The Mill will be open on the 14th November and the 12th December from 1.30pm and at other times by prior arrangement.
The 10th October saw another milestone in the mill's history when we completed the restoration of the remaining set of millstones and had both sets of stones working at the same time, the first time since 1946. It is certainly quite a sight seeing both sets working and doubles the work for the miller as we double our output!
If you would like flour ordering for those getting round to baking their Christmas Cakes or getting enthusiastic about bread making now that winter is here, please call, however small the order.
