Another innovation was that Arkwright built decent quality housing for his workers so that it was possible to attract a workforce to the remote rural location. The surviving houses in North Street, Cromford were designed to accommodate weaving workshops in the attics so that the men of the families (the factories employed mainly women and children) could be gainfully employed. When Granville accused him of insulting people, Arkwright retorted: ‘It’s one of the few pleasures left to the undeserving poor.’ The whole town knew he wasn’t poor, of course, but they also knew he was too miserly to spend his takings. In 1777 Arkwright leased the Haarlem Mill in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, where he installed the first steam engine to be used in a cotton mill (this was used to replenish the millpond that drove the mill's waterwheel rather than to drive the machinery directly [6] [7]).He had taken over management of the Hatton House estate from his mother by 1952 and handed it over to his elder son in 1982. Jokes like these were the essence of the show. The banter was unchanging. Arkwright’s favourite pastime was ogling the nurse who lived across the street. ‘There she goes,’ he would sigh, as her Morris Minor drove off. ‘Nurse Gladys Emmanuel.

Augustus Peter Arkwright (1821-87), born 2 March 1821; an officer in the Royal Navy (Commander; retired in 1850s); MP for North Derbyshire, 1868-80; died unmarried, 6 October 1887;There were no real plots, just a succession of incidents and running jokes. For example, a man would come into the shop for a gossip and a quart of boiled sweets and Arkwright would use all his ingenuity to avoid giving his customer a free paper bag.

Martin Peter Verdon Arkwright (b. 1961); served in Royal Armoured Corps, 1981; director of Secura Monde Ltd. and later Managing Director of ShireMoor Engineering; married, Oct-Dec 1992, Amanda J. Hodges and had issue; The sale raised a good proportion of the money and work began on the roof, starting in the centre with the rotunda and working down and outwards to the valley gutters and the apex roof. ‘You’re never quite sure when you open up a listed building what you’re going to find,’ Kevin observes of the work that followed – a rolling programme of modernisation that will see all 44 bedrooms refurbished to add en suite bathrooms.In 1927 the house was sold to a group of Methodist businessmen, who opened it as a hotel and holiday centre aimed at young Methodists. In the 1930s the single-storey extension on the east side of the castle was enlarged to create the "Music Room". After wartime use as a maternity home, the house reverted to its pre-war function, and it continues to be operated as an hotel by the Christian Guild.

Can anyone supply more accurate information about the date of construction of Hatton House? Edward Arkwright seems to have moved into it in about 1849. Lewis Paul had invented a machine for carding in 1748. Arkwright made improvements to this machine and in 1775 took out a patent for a new carding engine, which converted raw cotton to a continuous skein prior to spinning. [4]
