Ilkeston Road: demolition at the former Viyella factory
Part of a report to the City Planning Committee reads "The part of Radford Mill that is remaining was the later development of three distinct phases of mill buildings on the site, which originally extended up to Denman Street to the North. The central buildings on the site were the oldest and dated back to 1850. The building to the North was constructed in 1890 with the final phase to the south with its distinctive tower being constructed in 1900. Radford Mill was occupied by William Hollins & Co Ltd who were famous for the development of the fabric Viyella, which was patented in 1894. The factory was closed in the 1960s and although occupied in part by a number of businesses since then, the buildings remained largely derelict for decades". The intention is to create more than 300 residential units.
