Masson Mills’ original 1783 mill is a Grade II* listed water-powered cotton mill built by Sir Richard Arkwright at the forefront of the industrial revolution. Part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, the 1783 mill offers a historical, unique and environmentally conscious destination for private and public events, special occasions, exhibitions, meetings, conferences and corporate events.
