    Scope & contentThis booklet traces the history of Redbourn Silk Mill, particularly under the occupation of John Woollam. It describes the processes used to making silk and the names of some of the employees and managers. During WWII, Brooke Bond took over the mill for the production of cocoa and coffee. Finally, it was turned into a museum.
