The Darley Abbey Conservation Area was extended in December 2002 to encompass the surviving extent and setting of the Evans family inheritance in Darley Abbey.
The extension includes:
-
the former allotments to the houses of Upper Mile Ash Lane and Lavender Row
-
St Matthew's Church and churchyard
-
Darley Park
-
the river bank opposite the former Boar's Head Cotton Mills
-
Folly Houses and the river bank opposite Darley Park.
This follows the:
-
drafting of an Appraisal of the Darley Abbey Conservation Area, and consultation on the draft, during 2001
-
inscription of the industrial village of Darley Abbey, together with Darley Park, as part of The Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in December 2001.
