The Black Dyke Mill Heritage Venue is situated in Shed Mill which forms part of the historic Grade II Listed Black Dyke Mills in Queensbury, Bradford. Black Dyke Mills is central to the development of the village from a hamlet to a Victorian industrial powerhouse. Without it, Queensbury simply would not exist. We are currently working with Mandip Sahota and a local charity, Queensbury Community & Heritage Action Partnership, to transform the Venue and the wider mill into a dynamic heritage hub - celebrating local culture and heritage, maximising tourism to the area, whilst also embracing enterprise and community well-being. Having produced a feasibility study that looked into how the Venue could conserve the building’s physical heritage along with exploring how the Venue could expand its cultural offer, the owner of the building has invited us to explore and develop studies for other parts of the mill complex. Stefanie and Mandip were recently invited to do a TEDx talk at The Media Museum in Bradford in January 2019 on how this project has developed.
