Some of you may know that I wrote a blog 10 years ago for A River Runs through It a project based at Heron Corn Mill.
I looked at all the former mill sites on the River Bela and its tributaries - for instance Peasey Beck -what a lovely name on which was sited the Gunpowder works at Gatebeck. I did lots of historical research, found people who once worked in mills and those with stories and then went into schools and helped children imagine what it would have been like to live and work in a small area around your village in a very self sufficient way.
You can still access this Blog on Blogger by searching for the title A River Runs through It.
