Homes in Belper

Belper's oldest workers' housing was built by the Strutts for their mills in the late 1700s, in gritstone or local brick. Long Row went up between 1792 and 1797, Crown Terrace from 1792 to 1794, and the brick Short Rows a little earlier. The parish has over 250 listed buildings, there is a Belper and Milford conservation area, and the mills sit in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Solid stone walls are slow to chase and easy to damage, so in these houses we route cables through floors and ceilings first.
