A popular attraction is set to reopen to visitors after “devastating” arson destroyed irreplaceable historical artefacts.
The visitor centre at the Frogmore Paper Mill in Apsley was"extensively damaged" on January 22 of last year, by a fireAs many as 13 fire engines and police were called to Fourdrinier Way at around 3.30pm and found the mill ablaze, before battling to prevent the flames spreading further through the site.
“Only then could we start to move forward,” the education and design manager explained. “That was very nice, to be looking forwards, and we had ideas straight away.”“There is a huge amount of clearance, if you come down now you will see a lot of building work. What should come out of it should be quite an exciting visitors’ centre.”
The new centre will be a temporary home at the other end of the site and enable Frogmore Paper Mill to reopen to groups and once again offer tours. It will allow visitors to give feedback on the long-term future development of the museum.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
