Description
The Silk Mill Museum of Making is a building that was rebuilt in the late 19th century but retains some brickwork from the original silk mill established in 1717 by John Lombe, the first silk mill in the country. It is constructed of red brick and consists of three and four storeys, featuring an octagonal tower block with an octahedral slate roof. The building is situated on arches on an island in the river. There are no original architectural ornaments remaining, and the fine gates by Bakewell have been relocated to Wardwick. The building was converted into an industrial museum in 1974.
