Although it is now a rural area, it has an industrial past which drew on the natural resources of the Churnet valley.
Iron was smelted from medieval times. Copper and lumber were also important to the local economy.
In the nineteenth century Thomas Bolton's copperworks near the River Churnet supplied copper wire for the first transatlantic telegraph cable. The buildings of the Thomas Bolton factory were demolished in 1966.
