Locality - Birthplace of the world's ground-breaking 'skyscraper' technology, Belper has a rich industrial history and lies at the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Industrial pioneer Jedediah Strutt built one of the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mills here in 1776 - and Strutt's North Mill, now the Derwent Valley Visitor Centre - was rebuilt in 1803 using the world's first fire proof iron frame.
Then discover why Belper was acclaimed Winner of Winners at the 2014 Great British High Street Awards with some retail therapy at specialist shops and a popular monthly Farmers' Market in the historic Market Place. Close by, The Butts is worth a look for its choice of period antiques, interior furnishings and giftware.
When you feel the need for refreshment, there's a host of cafés, pubs and restaurants where you can find a friendly welcome, locally produced food, real ales and live music.
Owner's perspective - Long Row has everything you need. All shops are within walking distance, along with the Railway Station. The Bus station is in the town centre with buses going to Derby every 15minutes. We’ve had the benefit of living in an Historic Town surrounded by beautiful walks and countryside without being far from City Life! One of the luxuries we found of Long Row Living, was the sense of a small community. There is a well balanced mix of people involving singles, young couples just starting out or with young children, professionals, middle aged and those who have lived here many, years and have a fair few interesting stories to tell. You also get tourists/walkers who are very keen to stand and chat if you are in the street and can give them some facts about the street. We were able to take our dog wherever we went. All pubs are dog friendly and with a great pub at the bottom of the Row, strolling home after a few drinks was never a problem!
