Waterwheel plaques
Aan opportunity to be part of our industrial heritage at our iconic mill site.
To celebrate the return of waterpower to Cromford Mills, we have created a specially designed waterwheel plaque for you to have engraved with your name or the name of a loved one. The wheel will be embedded into the walkway overlooking the waterwheel and create an attractive addition to the millyard for everyone to enjoy.
This lasting artwork designed by artist Amanda Cirillo will be seen and enjoyed at Cromford Mills for many years to come and support our regeneration plans.
Waterwheel Plaque Prices
One name – £125
Two names / family name £150
Business name – £250
The waterwheels will be individually made in the new year, in the meantime we will give you a card and certificate for you to give as the gift.
