点评:We paid visit to the mill in March 2025 as I wanted to see inside the apprentice house as well as another look around the mill.
The apprentice house is strictly appointment slots only and I was lucky enough that there was availability just 15 minutes after we arrived. My tour guide was Keith. He was very clear, very enthusiastic and his stories brought the place to life. It's very interesting to see and hear about the conditions of yesteryear.
In the mill, the staff are very friendly and informative. Julie was happy to switch a couple of machines on and show us how they worked, as was the steam engine operator.
It wasn't a good day for exploring the gardens as we've done previously and the recent landslide is limiting access at various points.
Well worth a visit to this great, well maintained piece of history.
翻译:我们于 2025 年 3 月参观了这家工厂,因为我想看看学徒之家的内部以及工厂周围的情况。
学徒之家严格实行预约制,我很幸运,我们到达后仅 15 分钟就有空位。我的导游是 Keith。他讲得很清楚,非常热情,他的故事让这个地方栩栩如生。看到和听到过去的状况非常有趣。
在工厂里,工作人员非常友好和乐于助人。朱莉很高兴打开几台机器并向我们展示它们的工作原理,蒸汽机操作员也是如此。
今天不是像我们以前那样探索花园的好日子,最近的山体滑坡限制了各个地点的通行。
非常值得参观这个伟大、维护良好的历史遗迹。
