MNTV trip to Nether Alderley Mill - Saturday 14 September 2013

Five members of the MNTV group attended our September social where we visited Nether Alderley Mill, which has recently re-opened to the public following restoration by the National Trust in 2012. We had an interesting guided tour around the mill where a couple of NT volunteers showed us the intricate workings of the machinery, together with some of its freshly milled flour. We also learnt a little about the lives of some of the previous millers over its long history, and some of them had literally left their mark in Victorian graffiti! As we were only a stones-throw away from the Wizard cafe, it would have been rude not to pop in for coffee and a cake afterwards, so all in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
