“It literally is a fairy-tale cottage… people stop to look at it”

Available for over a year

A group of 20 volunteers have spent around 7,500 hours renovating Aqueduct Cottage, which sits on the bank of the Cromford Canal and was built in 1802. The cottage was left derelict for nearly 50 years, but it’s now set to open as an information and activity centre in Spring. Our reporter Jack Tymon went to meet some of the volunteers and find out why they wanted to restore the cottage.
