The Derbyshire Cottom Mill takes as its inspiration Richard Arkwright's mill at Cromford, the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mill.
   Of humble background, Arkwright rose to become the first English cotton magnate. Although he was still having daily spelling lessons at the age of 50, he knew instinctively how to develop ideas and boost the productivity of his workforce.
   The model depicts a four story brick building with stone arches, an engine house and, of course, the tall brick chimney.
