Whitchurch Silk Mill

Whitchurch is a small town in Hampshire not too far from where we live. I have often noticed the sign to Whitchurch Silk Mill but we hadn't been there before today. The silk mill still operates some looms and produces textiles for special orders. It was founded in the early 19th century and restored about 20 years ago. Most of the equipment is still original and so can be used to produce even small orders.

You could see trout swimming in the river.

Whitchurchin silkkikutomo sijaitsee Hampshiressa Whitchurchin kylässä. Vesipyörä edelleen pyörittää osaa koneista ja koneetkin ovat kohta 200 vuotta vanhoja. Täällä valmistetaan tilauksesta silkkikankaita esim. historiallistem elokuvien pukuihin ym. Kaikki tehdään käsin, joten pienten erien valmistus on mahdollista.

Joessa näkyi runsaasti taimenia.
