Strutt's North Mill Museum

Enjoyed a guided tour of the world's first fire proof building. Unfortunately this piece of history will be closing down thanks to the council. I would recommend a visit asap it really is interesting and made informative by the guides. Hopefully all the movable artifacts and machinery will find a new home and carry on being displayed elsewhere. The walks and tours include inside and outside the mills, the river gardens, long row, nail shop and Joseph street. We spent an hour on the mill tour and a further hour browsing the artifacts and information. Drinks are available in the foyer along with souvenirs, books, information leaflets. Free car park. Admission is 5 which gives a year pass, and Derbyshire day out discounts.

100% would recommend a visit. Shame its closing down as a museum i really hope the building and the machinery are saved and looked after. Closes end of sept 2022 so if you can id go visit before it does so. Brilliant guided tour by a volunteer with machines I've not seen before then joined a walking tour outside of the mill which was also brilliant 8 each for both tours. Even got to have a go at some machines ! Free parking in carpark outside entrance

Get there soon before it closes, sadly. It'll be a huge loss. We had a magnificent time there this afternoon. Best fiver I've spent in a while (kids are free with adult ticket). The staff were all so welcoming and helpful. The free tour was fantastic and our guide, Trevor, was great with the little one (6yrs). He absolutely loved it, doing his little tasks and counting mice and it was so much cooler than the 33 degrees outside. I'm sure we'll be taking full advantage of the free reentry - which would have been for a year if not for the tragic closing and this trailblazing piece of history. Thank you to everyone who made this afternoon so special.
