Shears Mill's New Turbine Housing to be unveiled on 6th September

 

 

Bishopstoke Parish Council announced in their July press release that 6th September will be the date for the unveiling of the long-awaited new display and turbine housing.  Our own canny roving camerman, Mick Edgeworth, has already managed to preview the turbine in its new glass-panelled house and has taken these splendid pictures of the finished article to share with you.

 

 
            

Mark Thornton MP will mark the completion of the renovation of with a short ceremony on Friday 6th September at 6:30 pm at the mill site on the corner of Riverside. 

This will mark the end of 13 years planning and fundraising to restore this historic Bishopstoke landmark and also provide another point of interest on the Itchen Navigation Way.

John Silman, HMG President, will be there as our invited representative. John has been keenly watching the developments and inputting advice throughout the years of this project. Any other HMG member plus all members of the public are invited to attend;   for further information please contact: Parish Clark Peter Standen OBE
