An ambitious scheme to transform the derelict Whittons Mill along the waterside was completed in early 2003. The work was not without its problems, including two major fires.

However, the completed building now includes flats - some with a wonderful view over the river, a cafe and leisure facilities.

The coloured panels that decorate the side of the building, and can clearly be seen from Trent Bridge, have caused a fair bit of controversy. I include a photograph of the mill from the Nottinghamshire bank - judge for yourself!
