Businesses Invited to Join Historic Cromford Mills Community

A rare opportunity has emerged for businesses to secure workspace within one of Britain’s most iconic industrial heritage sites, Cromford Mills.

Located within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, Cromford Mills was originally established in 1771 by industrial pioneer Sir Richard Arkwright, widely regarded as the ‘Father of the Factory System’.

Today, the historic mill complex offers a unique mix of office, studio and retail accommodation designed to support modern businesses while preserving its rich heritage.

Workspace options range from compact studios to larger open-plan offices, alongside meeting rooms, coworking spaces and artisan retail units. The buildings benefit from modern amenities including superfast broadband, secure access and on-site facilities, all within a striking historic setting.

Situated close to Derby and Matlock, the Mills offer excellent connectivity via the A6 and nearby Cromford Railway Station, while local cafés, shops and walking routes provide an attractive working environment.

Businesses interested in exploring opportunities at the site can learn more by visiting the Cromford Creative site.
