Before Grey Ditch: Mesolithic And Later Prehistoric Artefacts And Settlement Features Excavated In 1992 At Blake Acre Bradwell

Before Grey Ditch: Mesolithic And Later Prehistoric Artefacts And Settlement Features Excavated In 1992 At Blake Acre Bradwell
Guilbert, G (pp. 001-113)

Construction of a water-pipeline between Bamford and Buxton in 1992-3 provided an opportunity to excavate a cutting across the bank and ditch of Grey Ditch, where the pipeline was to intersect this linear earthwork within afield once known as 'Blake Acre'. Significantly, the bank of Grey Ditch was shown to overlie a plough soil containing a dozen sherds of Romano-British pottery. More than a hundred pieces of worked chert and flint were also retrieved from that buried soil, while the top of the underlying clayey substratum held in excess of a thousand similar artefacts, some coming from features cut into it, all apparently truncated by the plough soil. These varied deposits had been afforded considerable protection from modern erosion by a build-up of later presumptively medieval, plough soil against the rear slope of the bank.

Cranfleet Flints Assemblage, Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
Palfreyman A. (pp. 114-118)

In 1995 Jacqui Truman, then a part-time archaeological student at Nottingham University, became aware of imminent gravel extraction at the Cranfleet site off Pasture Lane, Long Eaton. Unable to obtain any involvement from professional bodies, she undertook a field walking programme in advance of the quarrying. The site of approximately 3.5ha lies close to the north bank of the present course of the River Trent.

Excavations At Lodge House, Smalley, Derbyshire.
Matt Leivers and Chris Harrison (pp. 119-144)

Wessex Archaeology undertook a programme of strip, map and record in advance of the extension of a surface mine at Lodge House, situated to the east of Smalley. Earlier phases of geophysical survey (ArchaeoPhysica 2011) and archaeological evaluation (Wessex Archaeology 2012) had revealed the presence of a sub circular or D-shaped enclosure and associated features of probable Romano-British date. There was little evidence for structural remains but a reasonably large assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered from the fills of the enclosure ditches. The site therefore provides useful information about early Roman activity in this part of Derbyshire.

Floorboards And Footprints - Construction Of The First Floor In The 145 West Front At Chatsworth

Floorboards And Footprints - Construction Of The First Floor In The 145 West Front At Chatsworth
Oliver J. (pp. 145-151)

Details of the floor construction of the West Front of Chatsworth have recently been uncovered by an ongoing archaeological survey of the interior of the house. This survey has been undertaken as part of the Masterplan restoration project, one aspect of which includes the formation of a series of fire compartments within the walls and below the floors. This has resulted in areas of historic fabric being temporarily removed to undertake this essential work. This article discusses the constructional sequence of the first floor of the West Front, incorporating new and unexpected evidence in the form of footprints discovered beneath the floorboards originating from the craftsmen who were contracted to undertake the work in the 1830s.

A Quaker Post-Bag; A Century On
Forde, H. (pp. 152-165)

In 1910 Mrs Godfrey Locker Lampson, published a collection of letters belonging to the Rodes family which had lain, apparently un-noticed, in Barlborough Hall since the eighteenth century. She had been working on these for some time, possibly with others, as is described in her letter to Joseph J. Green, of 15 November 1903 in which she wrote that the letters were currently being arranged and transcribed but she was as yet uncertain about publication. Publish however she did, to acclaim by the then librarian of the Friends Reference Library.

Peter Nightingale, Richard Arkwright, And The Derwent Valley Cotton Mills, 1771-1818

Peter Nightingale, Richard Arkwright, And The Derwent Valley Cotton Mills, 1771-1818
Chapman, S. (pp. 166-188)

The 1780s were a period of spectacular growth of the cotton industry in Britain. So much so, that many historians have identified this as the first decade of 'take-off’ into our Industrial Revolution. A rash of mills suddenly appeared across the country, beginning in Nottingham and the Derwent Valley of Derbyshire, where Arkwright inaugurated his industrial empire, but soon dispersed to locations as far away as Aberdeen and Exeter. It was the great speculation of the age and all kinds of men of capital, keen to multiply their fortunes, crowded into it to pursue Arkwright's route to wealth and power. A 'census' of the early cotton industry in 1788 counted 143 mills on the Arkwright plan, but recent research shows there were a lot more - at least 340 - many of them in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

Great Taste And Much Experience In Building: Richard Leaper, Amateur Architect
Maxwell C. (pp. 189-212)

Amateur architects are a diverse bunch. Some aristocrats like the Hon. Roger North, Sir Roger Pratt, Lord Burlington and the fifth Earl Ferrers, indulged themselves in designing buildings, for themselves or others, and were able to apply themselves to the occasional practise of architecture without having to rely on it for a living. It was rarer for a municipal grandee to turn his hand to architecture, but a notable example was Richard Leaper of Derby, four times Mayor of his town, partner in the family bank, distributor of stamps and proprietor of a tanning firm.
