Strutt's Belper North Mill was the most technologically advanced building in the world when built to William Strutt's pioneering 'fire-proof' design in 1804 and these innovative features can be seen and explored. The museum displays the evolution of cotton spinning from cottage industry to factory system through original and replica machinery. From drop spindle and spinning wheel through to Hargreaves Jenny, water-frame and Crompton's Mule.
