Derbyshire memories

Village Carnival Queen

Hello, I have many happy memories of Quarnford, born and bred there till my marrage in 1973. Born at New Lodge, Quarnford. Although we got a lot of low cloud and bad weather, I enjoyed my life living there, as a child I loved walking down to Three Shire's Head. Picking bilberries was another highlight. Also haymaking time.

On Tuesday afternoon we could go with the class at school to listen to the orchestra playing there for the sum of one penny. I think the conductor was Maurice Miles.

Dovedale, Dove Holes 1914
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This is not Dove Holes unless that is actually the name of the caves. However, I have walked this path with my parents many years ago when I was maybe about nine years of age. I did go in the cave too. I know it was before the war. We had a picnic beside the river ....... potted meat sandwiches come to mind. Dorothy Bonfield Queensland, Australia.
