Conway Mill has won the
Award for the Best use of a Heritage in Regeneration.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness opened the newly restored mill in 2010. It is now home to 16 business units, artists studios and space for community groups and plans are in place for 100 jobs to be created over the next four years.
Jim Neeson, the chairman of the Conway Mill Preservation Trust, who collected the award, said
"For the mill, the trustees, committees and local community, it is fantastic for the project to be recognised. We must give credit to The Prince's Regeneration Trust as we couldn't have done it without them. It really shows what a community can do when it puts its mind to it."
Chief executive of The Prince's Regeneration Trust, Ros Kerslake, said
"We are delighted that the work at Conway Mill has been recognised and celebrated. Conway Mill is a huge success we often refer back to it as a blue print for local people everywhere who are concerned to bring a much-loved historic building back into use."
