In this episode we’re thinking about how a simple cotton reel in Derby Museum's collection might provoke conversations about Derbyshire’s relationship to slavery. Talking to Ben Abbott, intern on the Legacy Makers project run by Bright Ideas Nottingham, we talk about the Boar's Head Mills in Darley Abbey and the connection between local and global history.
