Darley Abbey

Darley Abbey is a former historic mill village, now a suburb of the city of Derby, England. It is located approximately 1.4 miles north of the city centre, on the west bank of the River Derwent, and forms part of the Darley ward along with Little Chester and the West End. The settlement dates back to the medieval era, when it was the site of an Augustinian monastery. In the 18th century, the Evans family developed their planned industrial mill village in the area; Darley Abbey is now part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
The area has been a part of the city of Derby since 1968 and is counted as part of Darley Ward.
