The Beckery Island Regeneration Trust (BIRT) was founded to promote the regeneration of Glastonbury's economic base through the restoration of its architectural heritage. The Trust's strategy is based on preserving traditional workspace for community benefit, conserving, reusing, and regenerating historic industrial buildings to create employment opportunities and provide a learning and display facility. Northover Mill, a medieval fulling mill, is currently rented out commercially, providing essential income for the BIRT project.
BIRT aims to create a vibrant, sustainable economy in Glastonbury by housing diverse businesses in historically significant buildings under communal ownership. Training and learning are integral to this vision. The Trust is dedicated to renovating historic commercial buildings to create new employment opportunities, benefiting the local economy of Glastonbury and Street, and promoting heritage learning and enjoyment.
The Trust's mission is to reverse the economic decline that followed the closure of the Morland's and Baily's tanneries and factories in the 1980s, which resulted in the loss of approximately 2,000 skilled jobs.
