From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. In the period between 1770s and the 1790s hundreds of Arkwright style mills were built around the country, using his machines and production methods. Arkwright had shares in many of them. His invention of the waterframe to spin cotton transformed the manufacture of cotton into England’s major industry and created a system of factory production that spread throughout the world. The cotton industry was a cornerstone of the industrial revolution.
The site grew rapidly, and Arkwright needed to attract more workers to the area; he expanded Cromford Village with the building of Derbyshire’s first row of planned industrial housing on North Street in 1776. Arkwright later built the marketplace, the Greyhound Hotel, and further housing for his growing workforce to create the village you see today.
Arkwright himself started from humble beginnings as an apprentice barber and wigmaker and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in the country. Keen to display his standing, he started to build Willersley Castle and St Mary’s Church, but sadly died before both were finished.
Our tour will include the Mill site with information about the production of cotton, and the village of Cromford. We will also see the newly finished Cromford Waterpower project which has reinstated a large 6m waterwheel and installed a 15kW hydro-turbine to power the mill buildings.

We’ve had several emails into the blog giving thanks and sharing pictures of the flowers at St Peter’s Church, and so we thank Richard T and David G for the below pictures and Richard T for the message:
‘Dressed for the licensing of the new Vicar today by the Bishop of Repton. Looks beautiful and thank you to all those who devoted so much effort.’

On Saturday St Peter’s church was decorated with flowers for the licensing ceremony of our new vicar which took place on Sunday.
The church looked and smelled absolutely stunning! I personally want to thank everyone who helped.
Lots of people came on the day to arrange flowers, clean, sweep up, tidy, polish, weed the path, make us cups of tea and coffee, and helped to make the church look so beautiful.
Thank you also to everyone for such generous donations of flowers and foliages.
I think you will all agree, it was a job well done 😊
The flowers will be in church until next weekend, so please call in if you’re passing by.

A fantastic write up and picture from Ashbourne Running Club following last night’s hill race – as always, a pleasure to have them join us.
” Parwich Hill Race – super turnout from the club with a special welcome to those running tonight who only recently started with us in our Thursday group.
Ewan Busfield (honorary ARC member?) took the win in style from Chris Patterson & Zach Lomas. Emily Sanders & Molly Busfield were second and third females, Ewan also took first to the top of the hill & Martin Wright won a cup & mug for most venerable runner.
The results took a while due to the rainstorm that hit the race and dissolved many race numbers but congrats & thanks to Parwich.org for sticking with it and giving us a great event. “
