Any serious account of the history of the Derwent Valley factory settlements must draw heavily on the work of R S Fitton, S D Chapman and A P Wadsworth. For Milford and Darley Abbey thanks must be given to Heather Eaton and Bernard Holden for access to their unpublished research studies, to David Hool for his unpublished genealogical and local history material, to John Hume for commenting on the text and to Ellen Wheeldon, Doreen Buxton, George Jones, Cyril Maskery and Angus Watson for their assistance. The select bibliography which follows has been confined in its scope to manuscript sources and printed material which illuminate the history and conservation of the nominated site. It does not include the wider ranging literature or works of fiction.
