Coultershaw Trust showcases painting on information board
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The painting, by the artist David R G Johnston, normally hangs in the warehouse and shows the old mill that was destroyed by fire in 1923 with a barge in the foreground.
Tony Sneller, trustee and volunteer, said: “It brings together two aspects of Coultershaw's past: as the site of milling from Domesday Survey times until the middle of the 20th century, and of canal navigation when the River Rother was made navigable at the end of the 18th century.
