Beautiful memories
Dear people of Youlgreave,
In the summer of 1970 we visited Youlgreave. We were there on a holiday and we had a magnificent time up there. We stayed at the house of grandma and dad from my friend Chris Sol, who was born in Youlgreave. His sister Cathrin and her friend were also there.
The name of the grandparents was Oldfield. I am still living in Holland, I am married and we have three children. We live in a place called Hoofddorp, that's about 15 miles from Amsterdam.

Hope to ...read more here

Extracts From Winster & Derbyshire books
The 17th-century Old Market House at Winster was the first property to be acquired, in 1906, in the Peak District by the National Trust. The sandstone and brick structure originally had open archways on the ground floor, like that of the similar building in the centre of Bakewell.
