Belper North Mill, Industrial cotton mill in Belper, England.
The mill spans five floors with tall windows, featuring an iron frame structure measuring 127 feet long and standing 63 feet high along the River Derwent.
Built in 1804 by William Strutt after a fire destroyed the original structure, this mill introduced advanced fire-resistant construction methods using iron and brick materials.
The Strutt family established a complete industrial settlement around the mill, including worker housing, schools, and shops that transformed the local community.
Visitors can explore exhibits across multiple floors, learning about cotton processing methods through preserved machinery and educational displays about textile manufacturing.
The waterwheel measures 18 by 23 feet and transmits power through a vertical shaft system connected with leather belts to operate the machinery.
