The History of Cromford Mill is HERE
The 1st Mill to harness water to run the Mill
The canal was built to carry their goods to other Towns
If you have not read the History yet - It will be worth your time to do so.

Now I've ogled the photos, I shall go back to the history lesson - love the curved waterfall/dam pic
What a great place and me too i will go back and read about it. You always have beautiful places that you visit
I have often wondered how many miles (or km) of canals were built in the UK. I have never travelled ON them, but I have seen them many places. In many ways they are even more fascinating than the veteran railways you have, and that is saying something.
Thanks for the history and the great pictures. This is a place I would love to visit -- it has to be fascinating.
beautiful I love traveling around with you :)
Have a wonderful day!

I really enjoyed this post! I love old mills - the lovely long buildings, and waterwheels. Have you ever been to New Lanark?
Okay... I did the history but it was after I saw the pictures... then I did the pictures again.. those canals fasinate me.. very interesting...
Quite a history to those old buildings! Those old stone masons knew what they were doing. Great use of the buidings to show history as it was practiced 200+ years ago.
Mac: Nice captures at the mill, very nicely portrayed.
