Devastated to wake up today to this scene. We won't be opening today as I'm sure you can all understand. There will be a big clean up operation once the water recedes. Stay safe everyone

Great to host @BBCDerby this morning and share an update on works at the mill. Ceilings and floors disappearing all over the place as work gets going in earnest. Clip of @hannahfox and @CuratorDaniel talking about progress here:
