At the southern end of the yard, beyond the workshops. This is the only surviving example of a purpose-built knitters yard, once common in this part of the East Midlands. It was built in 1829. The Framework Knitters Museum covers both industrial and social history and is well worth visiting. Open February to December Wednesdays to Saturdays, plus Sundays from April to September.
