Darley Abbey Mills (South Complex) East Mill and West Mill, Old Lane, Darley Abbey, Derby - Derby, City of (UA)

Former manufacturing cotton textiles factory built by the Evans family of Darley Abbey. Long Mill was rebuilt and enlarged following fire damage in 1788. West Mill was added c1819-21. The exteriors of the buildings have decayed over time with significant loss of render to upper storeys, cavernous stone decay and localised evidence of faulty rainwater goods leading to water ingress. Significant roof repairs are required to two mill buildings. The conversion of Long Mill and West Mill is now complete. Repairs to Long Mill were completed in 2020 and it is no longer at risk.
