Sutton Scarsdale Hall
This Georgian pile sits atop a hill on the opposite side of the valley to Bolsover castle. This is actually the back, west facing side. In a morning particularly, the east facing facade looks very impressive from the M1. Built in 1724 for the Earl of Scarsdale, it was later bought by Richard Arkwright junior, son of Sir Richard Arkwright, 'father of the modern idustrial factory system.' Okay enough of the boring history stuff, but the point is it was eventually inherited by Sir Richard's great great grandson Francis Arkwright who decided after six years in the House of Commons, enough was enough and in 1882 emigrated to New Zealand
