1.  The Farmers' Market held on the 2nd Saturday of every month.  The first market was held in Belper in 1739.  The traditional market has fallen out of favour with residents but the Farmers' Market brings buyers from far and near.

2.  George Henry Strutt had the Market Place paved in 1880, and a commemorative fountain was erected by the townspeople to recognise this contribution to the betterment of the town.  It was never connected to a water supply, and still stands, perpetually dry, today.

3.  The Market Town of Belper from the Air.  The River Derwent, to the west of the Town, can be clearly seen running diagonally across the picture.  On the Town side of the river are the sports grounds with football, tennis, bowls, hockey and cricket facilities.  The rugby union ground is towards the top right hand corner of the picture.  The ancient deer park, which incorporates Belper Parks Local Nature Reserve is the wooded area at the top of the picture.

5.  The Strutt Memorial on the Market Place.  George Henry Strutt had the Market Place paved in 1880, and a commemorative fountain was erected by the townspeople to recognise this contribution to the betterment of the town.  It was never connected to a water supply, and still stands, perpetually dry, today.

6.  The Jubilee Clock at the top of King Street.  A clock with sunburst surround was originally built on what is now Fresh Ground for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.  This disappeared a century later, but to commemorate the present Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002, a replacement clock, a little smaller than the original, but otherwise almost identical, was paid for through public subscription.

7.  A Floral Display in the Memorial Gardens.  The Memorial Gardens were originally The Paddock, part of the gardens belonging to Green Hall, home of Jedediah Strutt II.  By 1921, the land was offered by George Herbert Strutt for the creation of a permanent memorial to Belper's fallen of the First World War, after years of deliberation by councillors over where to site a memorial.

11.  Part of the River Gardens.  Looking North.  Britain is noted for the presence in its towns of parks, gardens, open spaces and recreational grounds.  These have played an important role in the lives of millions of people during their leisure time. Such facilities were often created in the Nineteenth Century by public-spirited persons.  Derbyshire towns are highly representative of this idea, and Belper can boast a significant and prominent recreational site.

12.  Looking South in the River Gardens with the East Mill in the Background.  The Strutt family were instrumental in developing the idea of public gardens.  Long before George Herbert Strutt (1853-1928) developed the River Gardens, his great uncle Joseph Strutt (1765-1844) donated the Arboretum to Derby and promoted its use in the 1840s.  Following this, similar schemes started to proliferate throughout Britain, until, in 1906, George Herbert Strutt provided the River Gardens for Belper.

13.  The Bandstand in the River Gardens.  Used for brass band and other types of music in the summer months.  See 'What's On in Belper' for details.

14.  The Weir.  Looking North from Bridgefoot.  To power Belper's new West Mill in 1797, Jedediah Strutt needed a new and larger weir and one was designed with a distinctive horseshoe shape.  It was modified and increased in height in 1819 and 1843 yet remains largely unaltered.

15.  Belper North Mill, rebuilt in 1804 by William Strutt on the lower storeys of the earlier mill that had been destroyed by fire in 1803, embodies the knowledge accumulated from earlier experiments William had made into fire-resistant mill structures, and has an iron frame which made it a technological marvel for that time.

16.  The East Mill completely overshadows the North Mill.  A seven-storey building with four corner turrets, it was constructed by the English Sewing Cotton Company in 1912 in the distinctive Accrington red-brick, which had by this time become the preferred building material for textile mills.  It is built around a steel frame, which by 1912 had long been entirely free-standing; unlike William Strutt’s structures, which relied on the walls of the building to support them.

17.  The North and East Mill.

18.  The Gang Way which once joined the North Mill and the West Mill.

19.  St. Peter's Church was built in 1824 to replace St John's Chapel which had become too small for the population of Belper.

20.  St. John's Chapel.  It was originally built in around 1250 to avoid the necessity of the local foresters having to walk to Duffield, their Parish Church.  It is currently used as the Home of Belper Town Council and as Belper's Heritage Centre.

23.  The Ritz Cinema after its refurbishment.  It is proving a very popular addition to the cultural life of the Town

24.  Mr Potato Head, a gift from the Town's twin in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA returned for a short time to welcome visitors from the North.  Mr. Potato Head is currently on his travels again and was last spotted in Austria.
