Visit to Masson Mills: Richard Arkwright’s mill

As my move to the University of Florida approaches, I have reflected on the many Industrial Heritage sites that I have visted over the years, some of them (namely those to the Quarry Bank Mill) as a study visit with my Topics in Economic History students.
