The name comes from Bluepits/Blue Pits, an old name for this part of Castleton, resulting from the blue clay that was quarried in the area. As Blue Pits Mill, it was one of the earliest mills in the area, but older buildings have all been demolished leaving just this early 20th century building, now converted to small business units.
