Intro! We are Scarthin Books from the historic and
picturesque village of Cromford. Est. in 1974 we have recently celebrated our 50th birthday which is a welcome relief after nearly falling down in 2015 due to the weight of 100,000 books. We have a vegan/vegetarian café and a cat who visits daily.

The stats are alarming: in 2023, Severn Trent discharged sewage into Tideswell Brook a shocking 125 times, totalling 1,702 hours. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical pollution isn’t even monitored under current regulations, so its damaging effects go unnoticed.
