This cache is in Draycott, Derbyshire. The best known land mark in Draycott is Victoria Mill. Having connections with the Nottingham lace trade, building of Draycott’s Victoria Mill was started in 1888 and was established as one of the most important lace factories in the world. When it was completed in 1907, it was the largest manufacturing mill in Europe.The four-storey building with its green-capped ornamental clock tower dominates the skyline.
In order to get their Derbyshire lead from Derby to the river Trent at Trent Lock, the Romans built a straight road between the two. A small community settled along this road, mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086 as Draicott (Dry Cote). The people at the tiny village of Wilne, located just south of Draycott gradually moved to Dry Cote as this was on higher land and not subject to the flooding.
