I have recently aquired a picture(thanks to Lyn of Elton History Society) of the cottages in Well Street where my ancestors lived but sadly they were demolished in 1930.

My father was Arthur Marsden Taylor born in Elton 1896, he had two brothers
William (1900) and Benjamin Aaron (1890), their mother was Sarah Ann Taylor (no father named), and her mother I believe Elizabeth Taylor, daughter of Robert Taylor (b Brassington 1823) and Martha Staley (b Elton 1821). Martha's mother was Elizabeth Staley and her brother was Benjamin. I know that Aaron senior, son of Robert, went to live in Moor Lane with wife, another Sarah Ann and baby Mary Ellen, he was a lead miner. I don't know if my father went to Elton school or not as I always thought he lived in Youlgreave. He went into the Great War before he was 18, he joined the Nottingham and Derbyshire Regiment (Sherwood Foresters) but didn't marry Annie Elizabeth Mather of Kniveton until Dec 1931. I don't know what happened to him in between. I am fascinated by the Taylor family and recently visited Elton to see where they lived. I hope to come back soon with one of my sisters. Gwen

I lived in the house on the right (Hazel House) just before the bakery from 1958-1988. Many memories of there. Anyone with any memories of Two Dales, please don´t hesitate to contact.

Extracts From Winster & Derbyshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Winster, inspired by Frith photos.
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.
