Outlook bright for historic mill
Managers at an historic mill in Derbyshire, featured in the TV series 'Restoration' are hoping to secure grant aid after a rise in visitors.

The programme helped highlight Richard Arkwright's mill at Cromford although it missed out on £3m prize money.

The Arkwright Society said that visitor numbers have soared by as much as 60% following the programme.

The mill featured in the BBC2 series last year and is also classed as a world heritage site.
