Murrays Mills - Originally commissioned by the Murray brothers in 1797, the development began with the construction of Old Mill and Decker Mill, with New Mill following shortly afterwards. The buildings were later interconnected by a series of linking wings, many of which still remain today alongside the original engine houses and iconic chimney, preserving the site’s rich industrial heritage.
