Talk:Derby Silk Mill

Mothballing Edit

I've added a section on Derby City Council's proposed mothballing of the museum; I've added references in the links section but can't work out how to link from within the text. I'll have a read of the help pages and see if I can work out how to do this but if anyone else fancied doing it then "ta very much". --Bigyaks (talk) 15:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merger

I propose that Lombe's Mill be merged into Derby Silk Mill, as the two articles deal with essentially much the same topic. Although not technically the same building, the original mill having burned down, the present Silk Mill is a recreation of the original and on the same site, so they have a shared history. Indeed, there is a good deal of overlap between the articles already, as the history section for the current building also covers that of the previous mill. Neither article is particularly long, so combining the information from both would be quite manageable. Jellyman (talk) 11:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

My view is that Lombe's Mill is vastly more important as a historical entity than the current Derby Silk Mill, a "museum for the 21st century incorporating the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics" in a recreated building. I would, however, move the contents of the history section to the mill page, leaving only the modern material at the Derby Silk Mill page, ensuring that the two pages are appropriately linked.
