‘Not at all – they’d come all the year round, especially if there was one of those Christmas shops too, selling not only the crackers but everything from baubles to fake trees.’
‘Well, I never!’ she said. ‘Christmas all year!’
‘The cracker factory hardly takes up half the mill floor, leaving plenty of room for a Christmas shop. And the customers could see down into the workshop from the café, if it’s on the mezzanine.’
I sketched out a rough plan on a piece of notepaper. ‘See – the visitors come through the front door into the lobby, where they can pick up a free leaflet giving them information about the attractions on offer. You might have to upgrade the loos there; I don’t know what they’re like,’ I added. ‘You’ll certainly need a disabled one somewhere and a ramp up to the front door.’
Mercy nodded, jotting it down. She’d pulled out a reporter’s notebook and appeared to have started a list.
‘While we’re on the subject of access, a small lift could be fitted to take customers up to the café, too – climbing all those stairs isn’t going to be for everybody.’
‘Very true, dear,’ she said, making another note. ‘Carry on.’
‘They enter the main floor of the mill down a central walkway, with the Christmas shop to the right, and the cracker factory to the left, which will be divided off by some kind of partition, either waist-high or with viewing windows, to keep the visitors from getting underfoot.’
‘Good thinking. Health and Safety would probably have something to say about that.’
‘Health and Safety are likely to have a lot to say on all kinds of things,’ I said. ‘Anyway, they walk down past the cracker making, and then enter the middle of the storeroom through doors at the back.’
I drew a quick sketch. ‘See, the first storeroom’s door can be blocked off, so it’s only accessible from the cracker workshop. Then I suggest you turn the other two into a museum dedicated to the history of Marwood’s Magical Crackers, including the Quaker connection and any bits of interesting family history.’
