Winter Talk 3: Fiona Young – Regeneration of Silverburn Park and Flax Mill
Ambitious regeneration project with community benefits:
It’s our privilege to welcome Fiona Young, the Flax Mill Activities Coordinator responsible for engaging the local community in the Flax Mill renovation. She will speak about the history and development of the Silverburn Park and Flax Mill. We will find out about the fascinating history of flax making, see some flax and small tools and a quick demonstration of how to take flax straw to fibre. This is an important community redevelopment project and we are looking forward to hearing about the tears and toil involved in making it happen.
