The original mill buildings on the site at Cressbrook Mill were built for Richard Arkwright; they were burned down and the present ones were created from 1815. Production of cotton ceased in 1965 and the buildings were all but abandoned until conversion to apartments in recent times saved them. The view here is from above, to the west from the path of The Monsal Trail.
