We recently supplied a Wi-Fyre wireless detection system for a historic, water-powered corn mill owned by the National Trust.
Clyston Mill
Clyston Mill is a historic, water-powered corn mill located in Broadclyst, a village and civil parish just north-east of Exeter in Devon, England. Clyston Mill is situated in a picturesque setting by the River Clyst and is surrounded by farmlands and orchards. Grain is still ground at this working mill, keeping traditional skills alive.
Why the Fire Alarm System was Chosen
When selecting the right fire detection system for Clyston Mill a Wi-Fyre wireless system seemed the obvious choice. It’s wireless connectivity meant installation was possible without causing any disruption to the property and that the system was simple and effective to survey.
