Tone Works Restoration
Somerset Council’s phased conservation of Tone Works, the historic textile dyeing and finishing works in Wellington. It is a separate site from neighbouring Tonedale Mill.[1]
Current position
Restoration and decontamination are under way, including repairs to the Finishing Shed roof. The reported capital allocation totals £8.371 million following the £4.695 million funding transfer announced in 2026; this is not a whole-site reopening commitment.
Benefits
- Roof and structural repairs, asbestos removal and safeguarding of historic machinery conserve the industrial buildings while long-term reuse is developed.
