John had a fantastic trip out with our activities' coordinator Kerry to the Derby Silk Mill. He has been spending some time researching the history of Abbey Court or, as it was previously known, the Derby Malt Vinegar Brewery. Derby Silk Mill houses the steam engine that once powered the machinery at the vinegar malt, and they even have some of the old vinegar bottles on display. John learned so much about Abbey Court's history and received lots of assistance from the wonderful team at the Silk Mill
