Alvaston history

Alvaston sits in Derbyshire (DE24), and shares its history and day-to-day life with nearby Derby. Derby is where the Industrial Revolution arguably began: Lombe's Silk Mill of 1721 was Britain's first factory, and the Derwent Valley Mills are now a World Heritage Site. Later came the Midland Railway works, Royal Crown Derby porcelain and Rolls-Royce aero engines, which still dominate the city's engineering.
