New Exhibition: Women of the Wandle
Many women inherited the mills and property upon the death of their husbands. Some chose to sell, some continued to run the business, whilst others leased out the mills and property. Sadly for this day and age, some would have given up ownership upon remarrying.
This exhibition is the story of some of the women associated with the Wandle Valley
The new exhibition opens to the public on Sunday 15th June, free of charge, at the Wandle Industrial Museum.
