'New beginning' for Peak District landmark after major windfall
A popular Derbyshire landmark in the heart of the county is looking forward to a 'new beginning' after scoring a huge grant. Cromford Mill's Arkwright Society has announced that the site has secured £1.3 million in "vital" funding from the National Lottery's Heritage Fund that will allow a "once-in-a-generation" project to take place.
Éilis Scott, chief executive of the Arkwright Society -
"Restoring our vacant historic industrial buildings is about unlocking new opportunities, sparking innovation, and using the stories of creativity and enterprise to inspire. Cromford Mills is for everyone, whether you work here, volunteer or visit. But keeping the mill gates open isn’t easy. Continued support is vital to conserve these buildings and ensure they remain open, welcoming and full of life - relevant for today and for generations to come.”
Whenever anything is being promoted, it's remarkable how the same words tend to be used over and over again, like an outline script where the subject can be filled in later. For example, there is a lot of 'unlocking' going on at the moment and it's not necessarily a good thing.

Lots of lovely money for consultants, meetings, research visits to foreign climes, then the last few quid will be spent filling the place with interactive computer displays telling us about Arkwright's use of slave labour and how he started climate change . . .
Jannie - that's about it, we don't expect much from it.
