The sheets include maps, sketches, measured plans, sections, sectional elevations and elevations, printed promotional material, rectified photography, topographic survey plans and photogrammetric surveys.
The majority of the sheets originate from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s and are concerned with the conversion of the industrial site to a working visitor attraction. There is a series of twenty-two sheets of measured drawings and rectified photographs created in August 1975 which form an early survey of the mill's buildings, with a further nine sheets of plans and topographic survey plans created by Plowman Craven and Associates in October and November 1977.
Early repair works to be carried out at the site are detailed in a series of six sheets created by the Department of the Environment in November 1977 and August 1978.
