The region is a cultural landscape that includes a collection of cotton-making machines from the 18th and 19th century, along with workers’ housing. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is regarded as the birthplace of modern manufacturing. The most famous cotton mill is Cromford Mill, where Richard Arkwright first put his ideas into practice.
These industrial sites were built to accommodate the brand new organic cotton spinning technology that was developed by Richard Arkwright in the 18th century. They were the model factories for all over the world. The river Derwent was the source of power to run these machines, and they were often constructed alongside other cotton mills. The site was eventually taken over by the city of modern Derbyshire.
The industrial park program offers many houses for those who wish to establish their own business.
