A PUBLIC meeting to discuss the future of Tonedale Mill in Wellington is being held onThursday for local residents and neighbours.
Hydon, the company that bought the site from Courtleigh Services, will be on hand to answer queries, along with representatives from Boon Brown Architects.
Tim Wadsworth, managing director of Hydon, said the site could hold up to 15 affordable houses and was keen to create more of a community with a museum and convenience store on the site.
Currently working from the site are tradesmen including a bookbinder, sculptor, stained glass restorer and violin maker.
The mill, which was established in 1790, extends to over 12 acres, and provides a range of stone and brick Grade II Listed buildings.
The site has secured planning permission and Listed building consent for the conversion and alteration of the mill buildings, which formerly produced woollen and worsted cloths.
Last month, asbestos was removed from the site and flood alleviation work commenced.
The development is expected to take three or four years to complete.
The public meeting will be held at the site office, Tonedale Mill from 11am-7pm.
