Pursgloves of Duffield - [DUFF]
Duffield is situated between Derby and Belper on the confluence of the river Ecclesbourne and the River Derwent. There is evidence of Iron Age habitation and this was a major river ford in Roman times, for the transporting lead ore from Wirksworth. This are has always been prone to flooding and the soil is very fertile, making this a good place for animal farming. In the 19th century this was a centre for cattle farming. Framework knitting and paper production were also significant contributors to the village economy. In 1910 there was an expansion in housing to accommodate workers for Rolls Royce in Derby. St Alkmunds Church stands away from the main village. |
