Belper In Wartime Heritage Walk Saturday 7th November 11.00am BELPER 250

Overview

It's 107 years after the Armistice that ended the large scale fighting in the Great War.

The world wars resulted in huge mobilisations of people and material that affected everywhere and everyone in this country and beyond. It caused rapid and often destructive social, economic and political change. Belper was no exception and in a two hour walk we'll look at some of the places where this can be appreciated.

Unfortunately due to the terrain of this 1.5 mile walk, it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome on this walk. Stout shoes recommended.

Inclusions – What you'll need  –  🧤 Warm Clothing  ☂️ Waterproofs

PRESERVING BELPER’S INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE

A project coordinated by Belper Historical Society (BHS), aiming to engage with communities in and around Belper who may have relatives who worked in the many Belper factories and have treasures hidden away in cupboards and dusty attics. Volunteer BHS ‘curators’ will help to collect, organise and preserve factory-related photographs, documents and artefacts, creating virtual scrapbooks.

Once catalogued and digitised, original materials will be offered to the Derbyshire Record Office for long term storage. Donated artefacts will be added to the secure BHS store, to be used in future research and exhibitions.

A BHS team will attend the monthly Belper Market, to promote the project, offer advice on materials being organised before donation, and collect donated materials. Later market dates for 2026 are 11th April, 9th May, 13th June, 11th July, 8th August, 12th September, 10th October, 14th November and 12th December.
