You're standing at Derby Silk Mill, now known as the Museum of Making. This is where Lombe's Mill once stood, a historic silk mill. Have a look around. This spot marks the southern end of the Derwent Valley Mills, a string of old mills that together form a World Heritage Site. So a whole industrial story starts right here.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
