With such a varied history, it’s hardly surprising that the staff have reported seeing shadows.

Cromford Mills is nestled in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.
Built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright, it is the world’s first successful water-powered cotton spinning mill and a cornerstone of the Industrial Revolution.
World Heritage Site
The mill is Grade I listed and is now the centrepiece of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site. From then until 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses, and workshops that now form the Cromford Mills site. Historic England declared the Cromford mill complex “one of the country’s 100 irreplaceable sites.”
Leading the Way
In 1769, Richard Arkwright patented a water frame to use the extra power of a watermill after he had set up a horse-powered mill in Nottingham.
Arkwright chose the site at Cromford because it had a year-round supply of warm water.
Young Workers
Arkwright employed nearly 200 workers and built housing for them. Most employees were women and children, the youngest only seven years old. In addition, the children received six hours of education a week to undertake record-keeping for the Mills.
The End of an era… maybe not
The cotton mill ceased operation in the 19th century, and the buildings were used for other purposes. In 1979, the Grade I listed site was bought by the Arkwright Society, which began the long task of restoring it to its original state and continues to do so today.
