Belper and the Industrial revolution: How did a small town in Derbyshire help to change the world?

Join David Skillen as we explore how one family, The Strutts, helped to change the way we work forever.

We'll see how they built a thriving community that has continued to change and evolve to this day.

We look at their revolutionary buildings, many of which still stand, and learn how they cared for their workforce and how they built the modern town of Belper.

We'll also discuss the man who betrayed Belper's industrial secrets to the rest of the world!
