Dunkirk Mill Museum

 

History

An early 19th-century mechanical cloth shearing machine known as a cross-cutter has been added to the display. This machine spent its working life at Wallbridge Mill, down the valley near Stroud. There is an exhibition showing the historic development of the Dunkirk Mills site during the 18th and 19th centuries on display.
