King's Mills, Leicestershire Planning Applications

King's Mill, located at the historic crossing of the River Trent between Castle Donington, Leicestershire, and Weston-on-Trent, Derbyshire, served as a crucial navigation point for traffic from the Humber. Although a lock was installed to enhance river navigation, competition from the Trent and Mersey Canal led to the mill's decline. Under the ownership of Samuel Lloyd from a Birmingham banking company, the site was repurposed for grinding flints, locally mined plaster, and dyestuffs, reflecting its industrial significance in the region.
