Uxbridge Bernat Mill 4 in Magnet

A familiar view for the fridge door: Bernat Mill in Uxbridge, like a postcard from home.

The Uxbridge heritage landscape inventory identifies the Bernat Mill complex on Depot Street beside the Mumford River, also recording its earlier association with the Capron mills and Uxbridge Worsted Company. The site developed over many decades as part of the town's textile industry. The inventory records a major fire in July 2007 that destroyed much of the complex. Its history illustrates both the industrial growth of the valley and the vulnerability of the buildings that carried that work.

Maybe Uxbridge is where you grew up, where your family gathered, or a place you still carry with you. A familiar place, a little closer to home.
