Netley Football Club

My husband's family comes from the Derby area. Our son is very proud of his Derbyshire roots, and sought to buy a house close to Derby yet - if possble - in a village in the Peak District. He and his wife spent many days and ...Read more

A memory of Eyam by Margaret Mosley

Home

I was born in Grassington in March 1953, in a small cottage in a row of three on Chaple Street. They were known as the "Monkey Houses", as they are probably, still known today. By true locals anyway. My father was born at the town hall as ...Read more

The Three Pilchards

You are probably referring to the "Three Pilchards" pub and this photo is not that pub. It is a house a little further up from the pub. Your picture is that of a house. The Three Pilchards (which is still a pub) was for a number of years in the 1990s in the ownership of my close family.

Mrs Jemmison

How we must have given this lady a headache. She lived at the bottom of the lane and we children used to go to the side of her house and play ball. Many times she came out, not to complain, just to ask us to move further up the wall ...Read more

The King Alfred pub, which is situated on the junction with Commercial Street, belies the fact that new leases for Talbot Street excluded public houses.
