Victoria Mill, Draycott
Magnificent former textile mill that dominates this end of the small town of Draycott. The mill to the first stair tower at the other end had been converted to dwellings but perhaps 3/4 of the building was still empty. Recent Streetview images show that the whole mill is now converted to accommodation.
