Sir Richard Arkwright - the father of the factory system - in the late 18th. century, created a cotton spinning empire in Cromford, Derbyshire. Now part of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site, much of the buildings, water channels, and mill ponds remain. This book details his life story, work and includes a three mile walk to see at first hand where history was made.
