Heritage flax mill opens its doors
New Zealand's oldest working flax mill is opening its doors to the public on the weekend.
The Templeton Flax Mill was established in Southland in 1911, but was forced to close its doors in 1972 because of the introduction of cheaper materials from overseas into the New Zealand market.
The mill, off the Invercargill-Riverton Highway, was reopened as a working mill and museum in 2004 by Bill English and has been suppling materials throughout New Zealand ever since.
