Springfield Mill stands beside the Erewash Canal and the view from the water is dominated by its chimney. Built in 1888 for lace manufacture, it had a capacity of 160 lace machines. It was converted into apartments in 2005 but a serious fire in the roof of the building in April 2020 meant that extensive repairs have had to be carried out. See also Image
