Shame I can't make it, will be at Stotfold Mill helping with their Steam Rally.Having been a mill enthusiast since my teens, I had been following the restoration developments at Bardwell Mill with great excitement. I was desperate to see the finished result so I decided to make a detour to North Suffolk on the way home from last years Strumpshaw rally. The mill looks great and your team must be congratulated for all the hard work involved.
