Welcome.

We are looking for gifts or loans of documents, pictures or small artefacts from Ripley’s history. We’ll store them carefully and try to make them available to others. You can contact us on ripleyheritage1@gmail.com (please give your name and email address) if you think you have something for the collection.

Membership is free for those who receive the newsletter by email. Send us your details (name, address and email) via the contact address above and we’ll add you to our distribution list.

If you’re interested in the history of the Butterley Company, have a look here.

We work closely with the Butterley Ironworks Trust. Details of efforts to preserve some of the site  can be found here.
