2019 Flooding

When the Derwent flooded this autumn, Cromford Mills was very lucky to escape with no damage.  The meadows by the church were underwater, but neither the river nor the mill  race flooded the Mill Yard.  
The new picnic tables that have been installed as part of the Beyond the Mill Walls Project survived, and with a good clean up will be ready for spring!
Other World Heritage Sites in the Derwent Valley were not so lucky, and our thoughts are with them as they assess the damage, and tackle the mess left behind when the water receded
