Family Mill Trail

Follow the trail and learn stories about the history of the Mills and who worked here!


The trail will take you all around Sunny Bank Mills, and will give you the chance to learn more about the history of the Mills and its many building, and make you think about the people that worked here.

This is a family and school friendly activity where you can answer questions and collect the rubbings of different types of weave patterns that would have been used back when we were producing fine worsted cloth. Once you’ve finished the trail, head back to the Gallery and collect your prize!

Print off a trail map here or pick one up from the Sunny Bank Mills Gallery or the Museum & Archive during our opening hours.
