DARLEY ABBEY THE SQUARE 1-12

(Formerly listed as 1-12, FLAT SQUARE) 24-FEB-77 GV II 1792. Two three storey terraced ranges of mill workers houses facing each other across the square and linked by a similar range in West Row (qv). Built by Evans family. Red brick and slate roofs, hipped at open (east) ends. Brick header dentil course at all eaves, windows altered. Along with West Row amongst the earliest houses to be built by the Evans family.

The C18 and C19 houses and schoolrooms in Darley Abbey built or acquired by various generations of the Evans family for their workers are of interest as a group to be compared with the Arkwright settlement at Cromford and the Strutt settlements at Belper and Milford.
