Leader of Suffolk County Council, Councillor Matthew Hicks visited Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum on Monday 21 June and was given a guided tour by Head Miller Dan Tarrant – Willis and John Carrington, Chair of the Woodbridge Tide Mill Charitable Trust. Mr Hicks, who was visiting the Mill for the first time, saw the old wooden machinery turning and was informed about the operation of the Mill. Dan gave him a run-through of the daily operations and how the many visitors were given guided tours, with appropriate covid precautions.
John Carrington outlined the Charity’s efforts during the pandemic to expand its exhibits and digital presence to attract higher visitor numbers by making their experience more interesting and widely available. The Councillor saw the Weights & Measure Exhibition and Jean Gardner 1968 Exhibition that are both currently running in the Mill.
