Heron Mill almost gets a phoneline - updated (Jan 08)
04-12-2007

We now have three quarters of a phoneline into the mill! Two sections of underground cabling and four phone poles. Trouble is, they still don't connect up to anything at either end....

update
We now have a fully functioning phoneline. Our new number, direct to the mill is 015395 64271.
