Derby's Historic Silk Mill.

            This mill, situated beside the River Derwent (at one time was served by the former Derby Canal) in Derby's Historic Cathedral Quarter, is reputedly the first purpose built factory in England. Originally it was twice as large, half of the building was destroyed in a disastrous fire, quite common in Mills of the time. More recently it has served as the home of the Industrial Museum, since its recent refurbishment, it is now known as the Museum of Making, and part of the Derby Museums Group. It is also part of the Derwent Valley Mills Heritage Trail, and well worth a visit if you are in the area.
