Part section of 1832 Dye House ironwork from Strutt complex at Milford

William Strutt, a civil engineer, architect and entrepreneur in cotton, is well known for being an early pioneer and promoter of fire-resistant building design. William Strutt was inspired to improve the safety of buildings after seeing his father's old mill burn down. He applied these ideas to his own buildings. This material are examples of how he redesigned cotton mills, avoiding the use of timber and other flammable materials. Instead using cast ironwork, bricks, and ceramics.

This material comes from one of William Strutt's later constructions, the Dye house, which was constructed in the early 1830s and was considered a more sophistcated improvement over his earlier fire-proof buildings, the cruciform mill from the 1790s, and his rebuilt South Mill in the 1810s. Most notably, this building is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the practice of using bolting columns to beam connections, and of the use of double flanged beams. This design allowed for taller walls, and a more raised curved roof, features which would later be used at on a greater scale in the landmark construction of the Sheerness Dockyard storehouses in 1858.

Of Strutt's original mill sites, only the North Mill in Belper remains, and is now a World Heritage Site.

Of Strutt's original mill sites, only the North Mill in Belper remains, and is now a World Heritage Site.

William Strutt, a civil engineer, architect and entrepreneur in cotton, is well known for being an early pioneer and promoter of fire-resistant building design. William Strutt was inspired to improve the safety of buildings after seeing his father's old mill burn down. He applied these ideas to his own buildings. This material are examples of how he redesigned cotton mills, avoiding the use of timber and other flammable materials. Instead using cast ironwork, bricks, and ceramics.

This material comes from one of William Strutt's later constructions, the Dye house, which was constructed in the early 1830s and was considered a more sophistcated improvement over his earlier fire-proof buildings, the cruciform mill from the 1790s, and his rebuilt South Mill in the 1810s. Most notably, this building is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the practice of using bolting columns to beam connections, and of the use of double flanged beams. This design allowed for taller walls, and a more raised curved roof, features which would later be used at on a greater scale in the landmark construction of the Sheerness Dockyard storehouses in 1858.
