 What is/was Langley Mill Anyway?

And you've only mentioned two of the large employers - don't forget the Pottery, and Turners, as well as Pickersgill & Frosts.

Langley Mill was, undoubtedly, the industrial core of what is now Amber Valley. But the original point of this thread was that it somehow lacks, and lacked, a specific identity of its own, depsite its importance.

I actually reckon that your comment about the phone exchange is more valid than you think - this was a new technology, and Langley Mill, not Heanor or Eastwood, was chosen as the central point of reference in the area. Why? Because it was so important.
