Haven Mill Partington 1810
Haven Mill was built in 1810 and located just outside of the village of Partington in the Diocese of York
This was one of many mills built in the 1800s within East Yorkshire and was in daily use into the 1900s.
 

In 1928 the mill was looking a bit worse for wear, so it was decided to
Remove the last two sails and run the mill with an Oil engine you can see
The shed which was built to house it is on the left 

One of the last photos taken of the mill was in 1936 by that time
The oil engine had been removed, and years of the top part of the mill
Being open to the weather had taken its toll so the top 3 floors were
Reduced to just as it is today ground floor and 1st floor and new roof
Capped and sealed.
How it started (Demolition )

Today
Photos of the Mill that forms the new headquarters for HFDXARC Club from the outside and within we are so lucky
To be able to operate and put haven mill on the air around the world

GB0MMH Men’s Mental Health event Fri 17 May – Sun 19 May 2024 @ HQ Millhouse
May 17 – May 19 all-day
GB0MMH Men’s Mental Health event  Fri 17 May - Sun 19 May 2024 @ HQ Millhouse

The Humber Fortress DX ARC proudly supports the 2024 International Men’s Health Initiative, advocating for men’s mental health awareness on a global scale. We will be operational from the Mill House during the weekends of May 17th-19th and June 14th-16th, utilizing the special call sign GB0MMH across all HF bands. We encourage you to listen to us and reach out; your support will significantly contribute to raising awareness of men’s mental health.
This year, GB0MMH will remain active throughout the duration, making it easy to identify us as we continue to raise awareness of MMH over the weekends. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the operators who have supported us in previous years and to those driving the initiative this year.

For far too long, men have been hesitant to discuss their struggles and have lacked the necessary support systems. Fortunately, many organizations are now assisting men facing mental health challenges on an international level. It’s crucial to talk, and even better when support is readily available, which is being increasingly utilized by men in need.
Below are links to resources that offer in-depth information and support for those reaching out for help. If you or someone you know is silently suffering from depression due to financial or family-related issues, please share the information from the supportive community advocating for men’s mental health.
