Masson Mill, Cotton mill building in Matlock Bath, England
Situated on the western bank of River Derwent, Masson Mill stretches across five floors within a substantial industrial structure constructed from local materials.
Richard Arkwright established this cotton spinning mill in 1783, incorporating innovative water frame technology to manufacture strong cotton fiber for industrial production.
The mill forms an essential component of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, representing the early stages of factory production in Britain.
The building now functions as a retail shopping center and textile museum, with designated parking facilities and public transport connections from nearby stations.
The mill features an unusual convex weir across the River Derwent, designed specifically to maximize water flow for powering the manufacturing operations.
