Notes:
Deals with the development of Cromford and neighbouring Scarthin including their transport and other infrastructure but with a focus on mills and the entrepreneurs associated with them, most notably the Arkwrights but also George Evans who developed mills ahead of the Arkwrights, and Peter Nightingale. Also deals with later development of the site and the Arkwright family's estate and country house, viz, the Willersley Estate
