Georgian Inventions Trail

Richard Arkwright invented the WATERFRAME in 1769, a water-powered spinning frame that spun cotton much easier and faster than ever before.

 

This is part of the Cromford Mills ‘Inventions’ trail for families. To find out more, go to https://www.cromfordmills.org.uk/event/may-half-term-families-at-the-mill/

There are 10 trail locations, stretching from the top of Church Walk by the A6, to just past the first bridge on the canal.

To collect your prize, rearrange the letters on the posters into something that was invented by Sir Richard Arkwright, and tell the mill shop!
