Former flour mills, Railway Street
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 31 Jan 2009
A large, former mill building that looks to be of the 19th century. Originally it was Hurtley and Son's flour mill, becoming a biscuit mill in 1887. Well sited next to the River Derwent, which was once navigable to this point, whilst maps of 100 years ago show a railway track branch extending to the front of the mill building. It now appears to be residential.
