Welcome to the Calver Weir Restoration Project

We are a registered charity formed in 2004 with the objective of saving the weir from collapse and restoring it to good condition. Calver Weir is a Listed Grade 2 structure, built in the 19th century to provide water to power cotton spinning at Calver Mill, on the River Derwent, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire.

Now that the restoration of the weir has been achieved, CWRP is working hard to attract a greater range of visitors to the area, improve footpaths and access points, and carry out important conservation work.

News and Events

Calver Weir Restoration Project (CWRP) is hosting a 'Memories Day' at Calver Methodist Church on Tuesday 27th March, 2pm - 5pm.  If you have personal memories (or handed-down stories) about the past working and leisure lives of people living and working at Calver Mill and Calver Weir, or if you have photos or other memorabilia relating to the mill and weir, then please come along and share these things with us!

This is in support of our Oral History Project, which I mention in more detail on my blog. Thank you!
