Sutton-in-Ashfield - Dobson's Mill House

According to a plaque on the access road to this house, Dobson's Mill was named in commemoration of the original mill built by Samuel Unwin in 1740 and one of the first cotton mills to use powered machinery. Samuel Unwin died in 1841 and, after a succession of owners, the site was sold in 1920 to William Francis Dobson and Edward Josiah Allsop. The Dobsons retained ownership until its closure in the early 1980's.
