After a break for tea/coffee/homebaked cookies/buttered teacakes Ashley gave us an excellent presentation about ‘Future plans for Styal’ and covered the following topics:
- £9.4m Heritage Lottery Fund
- Northern Woods development
- Site expansion (car park
extension, development of upper garden & village, lift installation in
mill)
- Woodland Management Plan
- Bank House Farm
- Continued estate management
The Trust’s aim is to increase the annual number of visitors from 180,000 to 300,000 by shifting the attraction of the property from just the mill to also the village, upper garden and woods. The first piece of work to begin is extension of the car park which will commence in 2017. Clearly there will be a lot of work in years to come that the Styal rangers need help with and lots to keep us busy!
