This year, the SPAB National Mills Weekend will focus on the way that mills past and present have been recorded in pictorial form with the theme ‘Mills in Time’.

House Mill is once again pleased to take part, on Sunday 11th May, and will be launching its small new exhibition about the history of House Mill.
This offers information and a “taster” to those visitors who don’t necessarily have time for a full tour, but are interested in the Three Mills site.

House Mill is also open for the regular guided tours (11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.00pm) and cafe service.

Welcome!!

Stonemason and carver Marlène Lagnado undertook her Fellowship in 2024. She was generously supported by the Worshipful Company of Masons. Here are some highlights from the report she wrote for their committee.

The Line Youth Guides forms part of Visible / Invisible, a project initiated by The Line with National Portrait Gallery and London College of Fashion in a substantive collaboration to explore themes of identity and representation in the digital and public realms. The project will evolve through participatory image-making, critical engagement and experimentation, inspiring secondary school students into creative careers. To address the inequality of access to the arts in East London for local young people Visible / Invisible has delivered paid training for this group of 18 year olds and work placements on The Line to develop new, transferable skills to improve their employability for the future.
