The Abbot'S Mill Project Community Interest Company

The mission of the Abbot’s Mill Project is to develop an urban hub of environmental and social justice, powered solely by non-centralised, renewable energy, principally through re-instating a water wheel into the old mill race on the site of the former Abbot’s (Denne’s) Mill (the seven-storey mill that once stood on St Radigund’s Street but burned down in 1933). The hub will include an education/research centre about sustainable and compassionate living, renewable energy and the importance of the River Stour in Canterbury’s past, present and future, a vegan community cafe and a community-led woodland/wildlife garden based on permaculture principles. The Abbot’s Mill Project will provide a platform for cutting edge environmental science and newly emerging sustainable technologies from across the UK.
