David Mellor CBE, Royal Designer for Industry, is the best known cutlery designer in Britain. Born in Sheffield, historic centre of cutlery making, he trained originally as a silversmith. He also is responsible for the design of the National Traffic Light system which is still in use throughout the UK.

Based outside Hathersage, a village near Chatsworth in Derbyshire, you will find the David Mellor Cutlery Factory, the new Design Museum, the Country Shop and Café. We can recommend that you pay them a visit if you are roaming the Peak District.
