Join Michelle Bullivant as she describes the research methods she used to piece together the story of the lost watermills of Cherry Hinton. Careful research involving old maps and clues in the landscape can reveal forgotten histories. Though focused on Cherry Hinton, the story offers a model for uncovering lost watermills and hidden heritage anywhere.
