Litton Mill
At the end of a cul de sac in the Peak District is this former textile mill noted for the ill-treatment of apprentices. The original mill was built in c1780 but this structure dates from 1874 after a fire destroyed the earlier building. The tower carries a poorly seen clock. The distant building with chimney is labelled on the gate as 'gas house' and may indeed have been a small gasworks. The conversion to housing has been sympathetic although there are some balconies hidden round the other side. A turbine penstock enters the building but it is not known whether the turbine survives. The penstock couldn't be photographed without trespassing into a garden - so we didn't.
