This fair is a follow-on from the successful Industrial Heritage Fairs in 2015 in Braintree and 2017 in Wat Tyler Country Park, Pitsea.
Although much of the fair will not be concerned directly with the work of Marconi, Sandford Mill museum most certainly is and this is, therefore, worth supporting to help keep the Mill open for our archives.
