According to David Lally - In 2007 the conservation area which covers the major remaining lace mills of Long Eaton was extended. The appraisal document for this prepared in October 2005 by Sue Blakeley describes this mill thus: "This collection of buildings is the most complete as a group as the various sheds survive on this site alongside the main factory building. Built in 1902 by Francis Perks to the designs of a local builder, John Sheldon Bridge Mills was the last multi storey, steam powered tenement lace factory to be built in Long Eaton and was in fact constructed after the town already had its first electrically powered lace factory building. Bridge Mills also had a north light shed to the west of the site which took its power by line shafting across the yard between the two buildings."
