Sir Richard Arkwright's Masson Mills Working Textile Museum

(Gateway to the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site)

        Masson Mills Working Textile Museum is part of Sir Richard Arkwright's (1732-1792) Showpiece Mill and houses genuine textile machines of the 19th and 20th Century laid out as in the Victorian Age, a number of machines being driven by line shafting. A Victorian Workshop is now open for viewing which also gives access to the boiler house during inclement weather. There is wheelchair access to all parts of the museum including the river bank.
