Belper, Market town in Amber Valley, England
The Belper North Mill stands along the River Derwent, featuring an industrial-era cotton spinning complex with original machinery and educational displays.
During the Industrial Revolution, Jedediah Strutt established cotton mills in 1776 that transformed this agricultural settlement into a major manufacturing center.
The St Johns Chapel Heritage Centre maintains collections of photographs and artifacts that document the evolution of local industries and community life.
The railway station connects to Derby and Sheffield while the monthly farmers market occurs every second Saturday at the central marketplace.
The North Mill incorporates an innovative fire-resistant design from 1804, using iron frame construction methods that influenced modern architecture.
