Owned Damstead Works in Dronfield
The remains of Damstead Works include the concrete housing for the steam-driven beam engine and the low outline of the workshops. Beyond, the outline of the cylinder of the Dronfield Gas Company is marked out by a stone enclosure. At the far end of the lane is the site of the corn mill, with the overflow still cascading into the River Drone.
