The old Forge Redditch

Redditch lies about a half an hours car journey from us, the shopping area isn't too bad, but other than that there isn't much there.

But it does have the old forge mill and needle factory.

At one point redditch made 90% of all needles and fishing hooks

Millwards needles made good quality needles, making surgical, knitting and fishing.

Now the building has been turned into a museum, Roo was checking out this by the side of the mill, I'm sure it's got a history.
