Better days

My journey to work takes me along the Derwent Valley the site of the start of the industrial revolution in textile manufacture and the whole of the Derwent valley from Derby to Matlock is now a World Heritage site for this reason.

The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site contains a fascinating series of historic mill, including some of the world's first 'modern' style factories. However the mill I pass every day, Milford Mill, is not one of the better examples and its poor state of repair makes you wander how they will be preserved?

I will also try to bring images of some of the finer mill structures
