Aw thanks Juliette, it was a really beautiful day for it – even though the history is quite difficult. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to comment 🙂

I agree completely, it was a truly awful place to work and even more awful that at the time, it was a good option! I am so grateful not to be born in those times. And thank you so much – I’m so pleased my hobby of sharing places I’ve visited might be interesting or useful to people 🙂

What a beautiful day you had! It seems like such an interesting visit, and it’s good to remind visitors what made this development possible, which is not always all so positive. It’s also great that they had local shops and cafes, and the nearby walks look so nice as well! Thanks for sharing your experience there!

Yes, the equipment has changed a lot in the cotton gins since he started his career many years ago. But what a fun trip it would be for Mike to see the mill!

Cromford Mill is a beautiful building in a gorgeous location, but it’s horrific to think what the women and children who once worked there had to endure. I visited an old cotton mill in Cheshire last year and was appalled by some of the stories of we heard about what happened to the people who worked there. It’s really positive that nowadays these old mills don’t shy away from educating visitors about their links to slavery and the shameful aspects of their pasts. On a lighter note, congratulations on your very well deserved blogging milestone 🙂

Emotionally charged is a good way to describe it for sure, and I’m glad they faced in to the differing viewpoints. And thank you so much Corna, I can’t believe anyone visits my site really so I’m truly honoured you find the posts interesting to read. Thank you 🙂

Oh Tean is on my list to visit when I’m back that way – there are so many beautiful walking routes in that area. I agree on the mills, but I think it’s good the exhibits deal with both sides of the debate and it did really make me think. And thank you kindly, I only started this as a little hobby so to even have a few viewers feels a big deal! Have a great rest of your weekend 🙂
