My gran was born on this street, she lived here till she married then moved to Huthwaite village where we grew up. I loved exploring Derbyshire. Most of my ancestors were born here including Sir Richard Arkwright (Inventor of the cotton mill)..Great memories...
I remember pigs squealing as they arrived for slaughter. We lived on the street below.
I am the lad on the bike in this photo. I remember the photographer standing in the road with a camera on a tripod. I know for def it was a Saturday morning because it was my job to fetch the bread from Stoppards the butchers/bakers every Saturday morning.
