Haarlem Mill, Cotton mill in Wirksworth, England.
The four-story brick structure stands along the River Ecclesbourne with a round frontage and features three reconstructed upper levels above the original stone base.
Richard Arkwright acquired the site in 1777 and transformed the existing corn mill into a cotton mill that employed 200 workers by 1780.
The mill represents the industrial development of Derbyshire, marking the transition from water-powered machinery to early steam engine applications in textile manufacturing.
Located on Derby Road, the mill complex includes a three-story warehouse with 17 windows and underwent conversion to offices in recent decades.
This facility was the first cotton mill in the world to incorporate a steam engine, which featured a 26-foot beam and an 18-foot diameter flywheel.
