Restoration and reuse of the High Mill, Verdant Works, Dundee

Verdant works is now recognised as one of the nation’s premier industrial museums but the High Mill, the most imposing part of the complex, and the adjoining preparing room were not included in the first phases of museum restoration and are now severely at risk. The owners, Dundee Heritage Trust unable to find a use, approached Tayside Building Preservation Trust, to see if they could find a way forward. TBPT have begun to undertake a very detailed options appraisal as a first step in securing a future for the building. LCF money is sought to help fund this study which has grown considerably in extent and to contribute to the cost of restoration of the building’s original fabric.
