Kingston Mills

This is part of Kingston Mills redevelopment in the centre of Bradford-on-Avon.

Kingston Mill is 6¼ acres at the heart of the historic Woollen Industries town of Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire. It adjoins the central shopping frontages and the single medieval bridge, and was one of two sites that created the wealth of Bradford around wool processing and the rubber industries.

The site closed in 1992, losing 700 jobs, leaving a densely packed, technically challenged site in need of new uses.

The 'new' scheme (finished in 2015) delivers new shops, a central convenience store , riverside restaurants, a range of new employment floorspace, 30% Affordable Housing, the restoration of 10 historic buildings and a riverside walk at high density.
