Extracts From Heanor & Derbyshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Heanor, inspired by Frith photos.
The cenotaph-like War Memorial occupies the left foreground of this view of Heanor's park, while on the right, a group of three 60s youths eye the cameraman suspiciously.

Another view from Cromford Bridge of Willersley Castle, this time seen peeping above the trees. A stone on the bridge marks the spot where Benjamin Heywood went straight into the river as he returned home on horseback in 1697, and emerged unscathed.
