Overview
Trent Corn Mills is the historic name of a Grade II listed former mill building in Shardlow, South Derbyshire, England. The structure, which stands beside the Trent and Mersey Canal, has been converted for hospitality use and today trades as The Clock Warehouse, a gastropub operated within the Marston's pub estate. The building's heritage designation recognises its significance as a surviving element of Shardlow's historic inland port and milling economy. As a commercial venue, The Clock Warehouse presents itself as a dependable local pub offering cask ales, champagne, pub favourites and fresh dishes. Its facilities include a beer garden, dog-friendly areas, a fireplace, car park, accessible access, Amazon Lockers and free Wi-Fi. The pub promotes Sunday roasts, festive menus and seasonal offers, and it is supported by the Marston's Pub App, which provides order-and-pay functionality, live music and quiz night information, and curated drink offers.

Its address is Shardlow, Derby, Derbyshire, DE72 2GL, and it can be contacted on 01332 650556. Ownership sits with Marston's, the British pub and brewing company, which operates the site as part of its managed or leased pub portfolio. The Trent Corn Mills name reflects the building's original industrial purpose, while The Clock Warehouse is the current trading identity. The dual naming illustrates the common British pattern of adapting listed industrial buildings into modern hospitality venues while retaining their historic associations.
History
Trent Corn Mills is recorded as a Grade II listed former mill building in Shardlow, South Derbyshire, England. Shardlow developed as an inland port on the Trent and Mersey Canal, and corn milling formed part of its historic commercial activity. The building's listed status reflects its architectural and historic interest as a surviving industrial structure from that period. At some point the mill ceased to operate as a corn mill and was converted to a pub. It now trades as The Clock Warehouse, a gastropub in Shardlow, Derby, Derbyshire, DE72 2GL. The venue is operated within the Marston's pub estate, and its official website promotes it as a pub with a beer garden, cask ales, a food menu and views of the Trent and Mersey Canal. The pub's current offer includes facilities such as a beer garden, dog-friendly areas, cask ales, a fireplace, car park, accessible access, Amazon Lockers and free Wi-Fi. It promotes Sunday roasts, festive menus and seasonal offers, and it is supported by the Marston's Pub App, which provides order-and-pay functionality and information on live music, quiz nights and drink offers. The dual identity of the site — historic Trent Corn Mills and contemporary The Clock Warehouse — illustrates the adaptive reuse of listed industrial buildings in British canal-side towns. The building's heritage designation and its present hospitality use are both central to its commercial character.
