Walk through time at Mitcheldean

Mitcheldean was a typical gathering place for a very rural area until British Acoustic Films made their centre there, later changing to Rank Xerox. At the time of Rank Xerox more than 4,500 people were employed in what is now known at Vantage Point. Our leisurely stroll will begin and end at the library and explore the history of the village including the Town Hall and Church.
