Hi
Just thought I would add some more information to this thread. I have just found a newspaper article in the Derby Mercury from 11 May 1853. It details an accident that happened to my intoxicated third Great Grandfather Daniel Revell 1796-1853. He was an employee at Eyre Thorp Silk Mill, Full Street, Derby. He was hit by the flywheel and died. I suspect that the Eyre Thorp Mill was one of the minor mills.
