Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lunar Lecture at Erasmus Darwin House.
The talk will outline the history of a remarkable, family-owned company which this year celebrates its 240th birthday. Producers of fine gauge, luxury yarns and knitwear from the late 18th century, John Smedley garments have a reputation for style, quality and longevity: attributes well-attuned to today’s emphasis on sustainability. Based at Lea Mills, near Matlock since 1784 and sold in the company’s London shops as well as exported to over 46 countries world-wide. John Smedley’s garments have earned two Royal Warrants and are beloved by celebrities such as Bill Nighy and Dwayne Johnson.
