START AT 8.30PM UNTIL 2AM
Nothe Fort was commissioned in 1860 and was fully operational by 1872 to protect Weymouth and Portland harbours where the Royal Navy were based from a potential French invasion. It's part of a network of sea defences including the breakwater forts in the bay and the Verne on Portland. Between them, a large area from Ringstead Bay to Lyme Bay was strategically covered.
The fort has been adapted over the years with ramparts built and guns added when the threat then came from the air. A nuclear bunker was also adapted at the fort during the cold war era. It has seen many occupations and since 1980 has been turned into a museum to tell the story of these times. The full story can be read here:
Are you brave enough to investigate with us and in the tunnels where many have heard whistling back as intelligent responses to questions as well as footsteps from a seemingly unknown source? Nothe Fort is a legendary location on the paranormal map.
Join us to help uncover its secrets.
COLDHARBOUR MILL PARANORMAL EVENT (18+)
SATURDAY 29TH JUNE 2024
START AT 8PM UNTIL 2AM
Lucy-paranormal-Journey Ltd will be welcome guest to book tickets join me and the team for an evening of paranormal investigation at Coldharbour Mill for 1 night only.
Some of the history of Coldharbour Mill was originally a mill for corn or grist set in 15 acres of land within the village of Uffculme, Devon.
There has been a mill on this site since mediaeval times, according to the Domesday book.
The name “Coldharbour” is said to be derived from Anglo Saxon, possibly meaning “Old Shelter”.
The area had plenty of resources, such as an ample supply of sheep, and therefore fleeces, and also easy access to the River Culm for a continuous supply of water.
Seeing an opportunity for developing his woollen textile business, Thomas Fox bought the land, complete with buildings and its own water wheel, in 1797 for 1100 guineas.
Mill worker had to work 12 hours shits up at 5.55am ready to work for 6am if late was docked half a day pay every Monday - Saturday by a big bell on top of the roof.
The working conditions were grim, working long hours with little light coming through the window and in winter by oil lamps, The Noise of the machine would be so loud that some of the workers would become deaf from it. The air they breath was full of fibres and dust.
Mill women who operated the machine were only allowed to be absent from their post when their bobbins were filled up.
Thomas wanted a women workforce because there was less trouble.
Thomas then built a large wool-spinning mill on the site to serve his weaving factories in Somerset and opened it in 1799. In the 19th century, six of his sons continued their father’s work and the company took the name of Fox Brothers.
In 1799 children from age of 6 years old was employed until Thomas Fox change it to no under 8 years old to work at the mill
Originally the mill was powered by the water wheel, with a new one installed in 1821, however the Fox Brothers were keen innovators and making use of new technology, they installed the steam engines in 1865 to power the factory's machines and keep up with production demands.
At this point the Fox Brothers changed their business from woollen to worsted spinning enabling a larger range of products with a higher quality finish more suited to being woven into their iconic textiles.
Coldharbour Mill played a key part in the Industrial Revolution in the South West, as Fox Brothers' developed a domestic or cottage industry into large scale factory production, distributing textile products throughout the world.
Coldharbour Mill is one of the oldest working woollen textile mills in the world. The Mill opened as a working museum in 1982 and is a rare surviving example of Georgian architecture, industry and enterprise.
Coldharbour Mill has the potential to be one of the most haunted spots in the county. The mill has been in continuous production since 1797 and is today run by a non-for profit charitable trust.
