Description

The Hollies is a two-storey, L-shaped villa built between 1803 and 1806. Constructed from brick with a hipped slate roof, it was created by the Evans family. The main elevation, which faces northwest, is positioned at right angles to the street and overlooks a garden. It features two 16-pane sliding sash windows on each level, a central doorway with a canopy and doorcase, and service wings on the sides.

The house is part of a group of 18th and 19th-century buildings in Darley Abbey that were built or acquired by various generations of the Evans family for their workers. This group is of interest as it can be compared to the Arkwright settlement at Cromford and the Strutt settlements at Belper and Milford.

Local climate

The Hollies receives an average of 760 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 65% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
