The 700 year old mill hoping to exist off-grid

The owners of a Hebden Bridge mill are trying to raise funds to pay for repairs.

David Fletcher bought the mill in 1972 to save it from demolition, having been derelict nearly 20 years. Over the years, he and his family have restored the mill back to it’s former glory. However running repairs are needed to its waterwheel and other renewable energy tech to ensure it can continue to exist. Jess Bayley went along to mill to talk to David and his daughter Trudi.
