Derby's industrialisation began with the introduction of the country’s first silk mill in 1717 giving rise to the type of architecture that typifies the centre of the town including Market Place, Irongate, King and Queen St and Friargate.
Growth of engineering in the 20th century was responsible for doubling the population to today's figure of about 250,000.
The tower of Bridge Chapel is 15th-century.
