Cromford Mills

We were reading the citizenship test,  they mentioned Arkwright.   I has no idea who he was,  but the Derbyshire natives do.   I have driven past Cromford Mills many times,  I finally stopped and visit,  exactly where Arkwright was.

I was working in the Moors.   The mists don't lift till late morning,  how atmospheric.
