  • The Industrial Revolution Academic Conference
    The Industrial Revolution Academic Conference Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th October 2014 Copyright John Smedley Ltd Archive An Academic Conference with the UK’s leading experts on the Industrial Revolution hosted at Sir Richard Arkwright’s Cromford Mills in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site AT SIR RICHARD ARKWRIGHT’S CROMFORD MILLS Introduction Stretching from Matlock Bath in the north to Derby in the south, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site defines 15 miles of cultural landscape of exceptional significance. Visitors can enjoy the rural splendour of the Derwent Valley and explore 16 distinct places of interest. Described by Professor J D Chambers (1898-1971), the doyen of East Midlands economic history, as the “cradle of the new factory system”: a source of power, in this case water power, was applied “cradle of the new along the Derwent Valley to a series of complex factory system” mechanised processes for the first time on a relatively large scale and new types of mill building PROFESSOR J D CHAMBERS were erected to house the new technology. As it was the first to develop large-scale industrial production in a hitherto rural landscape, the Derwent Valley also developed a need to provide housing and other facilities for workers and managers, resulting in the creation of the first modern industrial towns. No less important were the canals, railways, roads and other historic infrastructure that were essential elements in developing new forms of Sir Richard Arkwright transporting goods and people. This fundamental restructuring of economic organisation within Georgian society resulted in the major landmark in human history that came to be known as the ‘Industrial Revolution’.

  • November 2019
    North East Derbyshire Industrial Archaeology Society NEDIAS Newsletter No. 76 – November 2019 Price: £2.00 (Free to Members) ElderElder YardYard ChapelChapel andand thethe PearsonPearson PotteryPottery PatPat PickPick n the Heritage Open Weekend I visited the Elder Yard Chapel; I’ve passed it many times but have never been in. Elder Yard Chapel was founded in 1662 and built 1692/1694. It was the first non-conformist O chapel in the town. The history of the building is unique in that it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town, built when the surrounding areas were a mixture of small alleyways and cottages for working people. The congregation was founded by Reverend John Billingsley in 1662 having previously been employed as vicar of Chesterfield Parish Church from 1653. The Pearson pottery family worshipped there and in 1875 Theophilus Pearson became a trustee. As a result of this connection the Chapel has a large collection of Pearson Pottery including some unusual pieces – Many of which were on display.
