P 62 Industrial Heritage – Milford Mill Site – Rod Kirkpatrick

01/04/22

Steeplejacks scale the 43 metre-high Milford Mill chimney to maintain and make the structure safe. The Grade II listed structure built in 1832, towers high above the river Derwent just north of Derby.

The workmen from Rafferty Steeplejacks are nearing the end of a two-week job to repoint, cap (weather-proof) and paint the metal bands and capping plate on top.

The site has been bought by Chevin Homes with much of the site being demolished to makeway for new offices, retail units and 69 houses.

The chimney and old Dye House frontage and are all listed and are not to be demolished.
