A gatehouse lodge built circa 1800 in Belper,
Derbyshire, UK, at the start of the industrial
revolution in the silk and cotton industries.
The date was probably about 1803, when Lodge Drive was opened and the North Mill was built to replace the previous one that burned down. Prior to that existing maps show the estate entry was just round the corner in Belper Lane, through the terrace archway.
The links with Rhode Island, USA, are explained.
