Heron Corn Mill
Location: South Cumbria
Loan Amount: £178,000
Date: November 2009
A mill has existed on the site in South Cumbria since 1069 and it is now home to a visitors’ centre for arts and education. In order to be more energy efficient, and to create further income, the team was keen to install a hydro-turbine and borrowed £178,000 to enable the project to be completed.
