This vintage-style tea towel features Ashford Mill, set beside flowing water and surrounded by the dense greenery of the Derbyshire countryside. The mill’s broad wheel and solid stone walls sit comfortably within the landscape, reflecting a long history shaped by river, craft, and local industry.
Rendered in soft blues, layered greens, and warm stone tones, the artwork has the calm clarity of a classic British travel illustration. Simplified forms and balanced colour fields capture the steady movement of water over the weir and the quiet harmony between building and setting.
Both practical and decorative, this tea towel brings a sense of rural heritage into the kitchen. It speaks to those drawn to historic mills, riverside walks, and landscapes where nature and human work have long existed side by side.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, each tea towel is carefully finished for everyday use while preserving the atmosphere and clarity of the original artwork.
