Description
This report provides a brief summary, an historical background to the site and a preliminary description and analysis of the surviving features; there is also a list of sources consulted and referred to in text. The area lies east of the River Leen, close to the site of three former cotton mills worked by the entrepreneur George Robinson in the late 18th century. Three others were also built lower down the river between Papplewick and Bulwell. These mills included both a former corn mill and some others built by Robinson that were of a large scale, similar to those of Richard Arkwright in Derbyshire. The larger mills no longer survive.
