The interior of mill is open to the public on Sunday 13th May from 11am till 5pm BST as part of the National Mills weekend celebration. Visitors will be able to explore the fascinating interior which includes an impressive main drive shaft made from a “recycled” ship’s mast from the nearby historic former Chatham Royal Dockyard.

On Sunday 13th visitors will be able see the GB6MW stations inside and outside the mill and have a chat with the operators who look forward to explaining more about the station and amateur radio.
