Gayle Mill tells a unique story of survival against all the odds, as it reinvented itself time and again, and how finally it was rescued from total dereliction through the 2004 BBC "Restoration" series.
Enjoy watching in action the fully restored Victorian woodworking machinery and the oldest working turbine in the UK in its original location, and listen to the fascinating stories about how the owners, workers, inventors and entrepreneurs kept the Mill working for over 200 years.
