I Know This Cottage VERY well.
I know this street - Spring Road - very well, and particularly this thatched cottage! This is because the Thatched Cottage was at the end of what was our property from 1990 - 2003 - Coke Hearth House. If you look at the brick wall, the right hand side leads down to Hollyhearse Terrace, and also a public footpath which my... [more]

Evans Concrete Products Ltd, Greenhill Lane, Riddings
I worked at Evans Concrete products employed as factory maintainance fitter; my job was to keep the factory machinery in good condition and attend to other projects in the making. The people I worked with were Jack Travis, fitting shop manager, Bill and Ron Hardwick and Ernest Finny, the best engineeers you could find, who taught me well - those were... [more]

I was just browsing through the net when I came upon this place, and it brought back a lovely memory of this place, as this was where my father took me just after the war, and the wonderful old lady who lived there introduced me to reading books. We were in her back garden which ran down to the brook that... [more]

What a treat to see this photo - presumably taken from the church tower - it brought back many happy memories of my time spent at the school between 1964 and 1970.

Between 1959 - 1977 I lived on King Street. My mother fondly described our house as the one behind the iron railings. We sold plants and tomatoes from the good sized garden which backed onto Painters farm. One side was the Undertakers/woodyard and the other The Railway Public House. Opposite was Taylors Corn Store and above that Speeds Car Show Room.... [more]

I was born on Swans Row, also known as Berryford Place. I would love to go back there, I know the M1 runs through it now but the back roads are still there. I need to know how to get there now, I now live in Manchester, hope someone can help me find my birth place.

Wycliffe Congregational Church
My Grandfather, the Reverend Thomas Arthur Bairstow was the minister of this Church from 1924-30. This year (2007) we visited Alfreton for the first time. It was heartening to find that the church is still being used as such. New Life Church (NLC)now use the building and, although it was a weekday, we were able, courtesey of the Pastor, to enter...

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. In the background, the stately Perpendicular tower of Heanor's Parish Church of St Lawrence dominates the view. The church was extensively rebuilt in 1868.

This distant view was taken from the north of the linear village of Darley Dale, which spreads along the A6 north of Matlock on the road to Bakewell. Riber Castle can be seen on the distant horizon to the left.

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.
