Background:
A piece of oval stonework was built into the triangular pediment that topped Mellor Mill. This stone was carved with Oldknow's initials, a weaver’s shuttle and the year 1790, reflecting the year that construction of the mill commenced.

A replica of this mill date stone was installed at Mellor Mill last Tuesday, 12th February 2019. This installation was supervised by Judith and Eddy Wilshaw on my behalf as I was on a flight to Portugal for the STORM project.
