The Longsdon family were established in Little Longstone from the 13th century, but their fortunes improved in the early 17th century when Stephen Longsdon and his son Anthony exchanged lands with the Countess of Shrewsbury, 'Bess of Hardwick'. By this they gained access to commons and woods and free grazing on Longsdon Moor for 200 sheep. The family benefited from the wool trade so that by the early 19th century James Longsdon (1745-1821) had 450 acres of rented land and 150 freehold acres. From the 1780s his farming activities including buying cattle for fattening from fairs in Derbyshire and later Lancaster. In the 1770s and 1780s James Longsdon became involved in the cotton industry in partnership with the Morewood family of Alfreton and the High Peak. Together they opened a trading agency in St Petersburg in Russia. When Richard Arkwright's patent claims were dismissed, they decided to expand their interests in cotton manufacturing. In 1785 the partners built a carding mill and warehouse, plus a bleaching croft, in Great Longstone, but two years later the partnership was dissolved. The business then devolved on three brothers James Longsdon II (1786-1827), John Longsdon (1788-1819), and William Longsdon (1790 - 1878). Trading difficulties led to James's withdrawal from the cotton manufacturing industry in 1812, but his two brothers developed a textile merchants' business in Charleston, South Carolina, from 1819. One of the strengths of this collection is the extensive series of family and business correspondence for the late 18th and 19th centuries (D3580/C1-1200). For further information, see 'James Longsdon, farmer and fustian manufacturer' by SD Chapman, Textile History. In the early 20th century EM Longsdon developed a successful architect's practice in Derbyshire. Commissions undertaken by him included new buildings for Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Green Road, Ashbourne. |
