During the refurbishment of the Vale we learned a lot about local heritage, the contribution Vale Mill made to that and the historical global links created through textiles. The volunteer led research has inspired an external exhibition at The Vale which in our view, enhances the whole site. To view the exhibition from your own home, click here and on the images where you can learn more about each image and a little bit about The Vale as a former textile mill. We’d love to welcome you to the building if you wanted to enjoy the exhibition ‘for real’ and we’d make you a cuppa too.
