Sponsorship Opportunities
SPONSOR A BUILDING
Help our appeal: Can you help us to restore additional bays in Incorporating Mill L157?
In 1861 when the Incorporating Mill L157 was built, it was in the forefront of building design and it has survived the change of use over the years - from gunpowder and cordite manufacture to laboratory space.
Part of the building has been open to the public, since the site opened as a visitor attraction, when one of the six gunpowder mixing bays were made useable during the restoration in 2001. The Friends with the help of a Heritage Grant from Epping Forest District Council have restored a further bay, and are currently looking at building a replica Incorporating mill which will be housed in this bay.
We want to transform the dingy unused space of two of the bays into a revitalised area to provide opportunities for exhibitions and classroom areas for education purposes and living history activities.
Planning and listed building consent have been granted to enable flooring, heating and lighting to be installed into bays 1 & 2, but we need to raise at least £12,000 to achieve this. We are grateful for a donation from The Mercers Company towards part of this cost, please contact us if you can help us with this project.
How the money will be spent:
- To install a new power supply with heating and lighting £7,500
- To install a new floor £3,400
