WINCHESTER CITY MILL EXHIBITION

A new exhibition at the National Trust’s Winchester City Mill features the story of bread from growing and harvesting the wheat through milling the flour to baking and delivering the bread.  The story is told through archive film, historic photographs from local collections and recorded stories of people from the past. A selection of farming and bread making implements will also be displayed and visitors are invited to contribute their own memories of farming scenes or local bakeries in the last century.  The mill opens between 11am and 4.30pm from Wednesday to Sunday in term time and daily in all Hampshire school holidays.  The exhibition runs from 1 May and until 31 October and is included in the normal mill admission charges (Adults £3.40, Children £1.70, Families £8.50, National Trust & Hampshire Wildlife Trust members free).  More on the City Mill page
