Listed buildings in Belper

The parish contains the town of Belper, the village of Milford, smaller settlements, including Makeney and Bargate, and the surrounding countryside.

Industry has been a major feature in the town, initially with nail making, and some workshops have survived and are listed.

[1] Major industry arrived towards the end of the 18th century when Jedediah Strutt and Richard Arkwright built a textile mill in the town.

[2][3] The Strutt family built housing for their workers in Belper and Milford, usually in the form of long terraces,[1][4] many of which have survived and are listed.

Between 1835 and 1840 the North Midland Railway built a line through the centre of the town which passed through a deep cutting.
