The Dujardin-Plante Battery Company had been founded in Charlton, London in 1888 by Walter Claude Johnson (1848-1928) and Bernard Mervyn Drake (1858-1931). Cotton spinning ceased at Lumford Mill in the mid 1890s and in 1898 the premises were occupied by The Dujardin-Plante Battery Company. Until 1955 the D P Battery Company made use of the two waterwheels (built in 1827 and 1852) for power generation. The business was ended in Bakewell in 1970.
