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.

Please come along and let us know what you think. ALL WELCOME!
The Legion will be opening specially for the meeting, with a volunteer behind the bar, so do come and support both!
