New changes to<br />

the Car Park...<br />

This <strong>Autumn</strong> South Mill Arts will employ Parking Eye to monitor our<br />

private car park.<br />

The decision has been taken to manage the car park by a third party<br />

to help ensure availability for our customers. There will be no cost<br />

for parking in the car park, but patrons will now need to enter their<br />

registration details at reception when they use the venue.<br />

Failure to enter car registration details will result in a fine of £100<br />

or £60 if paid within 14 days. Any funds from parking fines will<br />

not be received by South Mill Arts, the venture is purely to support<br />

existing users of the venue to utilise available parking.<br />

“Over the years it has been brought to our attention that it can be<br />

difficult for our customers to park and we take these concerns very<br />

seriously. We have thought long and hard about how to help this<br />

situation, but still keep parking free for our users. We hope by using<br />

Parking Eye this will deter those who are using the car park, but not<br />

the venue, freeing up spaces for our valued customers. We know our<br />

patrons will support us in our ambition to maximise fair use of the<br />

parking spaces available at South Mill Arts.”<br />

- Paula Holland, Operations Director at South Mill Arts.<br />

Did you know the Bishop’s Stortford Museum has been running an<br />

Oral History project since 2005?<br />

Within this project, we invite local people to share valuable<br />

memories of their childhood, the local town and their experiences.<br />

Bishop’s Stortford has a rich and diverse history and it’s all down to<br />

the people who live here.<br />

If you would like to contribute and enhance our Oral History archive<br />

The Bishop’s Stortford Mural<br />

We are proud to be able to exhibit a work of art that is 8.4m long<br />

by 1.5m wide, depicting the history of Bishop’s Stortford from the<br />

beginning of time up until 1990. The project was sponsored by Sally<br />

Howard-Smith, a former mayor of the town and supervised by Leila<br />

Riddell, a founder of the Embroiderers Guild.<br />

The Mural now stands proud on the top floor of<br />

our ArtSpace and you can visit our fascinating<br />

display to discover how this amazing embroidery<br />

was created!<br />

An informative book on how the mural was<br />

made, and a key to what is featured, is available<br />

from the museum. Scan the QR Code to view<br />

detailed images of the mural and to learn more!<br />
