Andy, |
Hello Andy, |
Great Derby Quiz, many thanks, I worked through the 300+ questions over a few days. I did quite well, I am not ashamed, but I am upset that I did not identify the signs of the York Tavern and the Brick and Tile PHs, they are my nearest pubs !! |
Andy, I have been living away from Derby now almost as long as I lived there. I have visited your site many times and it brings back great memories. I have just been looking at the Then and now section, it's fantastic. |
What a fascinating Derby Quiz you have compiled. Though away from Derby for many years, and knew few of the answers, your informative enjoyable comments brought me up to date. |
Hi Andy ,great site,I was stationed at Sunnyhill Camp, then Normaton Barracks I was with REME working out of the OSD at the bottom of Sinfin Lane. |
Dear Andy, |
I loved the Then and now section of this site. I have lived in derby all my life and never knew that some buildings like the crewton park libary ever existed thank you so much. Im in to History of Derby and this site is fantastic. |
Absolutely wonderful photos, mesmerised. |
Hi Andy, Thanks again for a wonderful selection of photos. I visit your site quite often and enjoy each visit.
I have friends who originate from Derby and who are now living in Austrailia and I told them of your site etc. They think it's just wonderful, a little bit of home to visit and re visit as often as they want or need to. |
Absolutely superb piece of information. I am an ex-Derby lad and being |
I have never replied to a guestbook before but I feel your site deserves recognition. |
I thought that this website is excellent. Many hours of hard work must have gone into making this site and the skill and effort that must be required for creating the images is amazing. |
I found your website by surfing and love the photos, especially the fades, showing the way it was and the present.You have produced photos and a wonderful website for people like me, who would like to see where my ancestors came from. |
Andy, As an ex derby resident who emigrated to Australia 42 years ago,much enjoyed the Derby Streets by car videos posted on youtube ,is it at all possible to do one on Chaddesden and Breadsall .Wiltshire rd ,Sussex Circus Canterbury St etc. |
Had a great time looking. Sent this onto two old Derby folk,one who lives in toronto and one in Turkey. |
Dear Sir, |
Hi Andy, I would just like to say that I have spent the last two hrs browsing through your great and interesting website. It has been very interesting viewing the old and new photos, keep up the good work. I especially like the Then and Now Photographs. |
Really enjoyed the Derby and Derbyshire Then and Now photos, particularly the photos of the Shoulder of Mutton pub in Osmaston (DP-TAN-OSMAS-82). My family kept this pub from 1972 to the late 80's. |
Thank you so much for alowing me to go back Home to Swadlincote, I was born there I have twin sister who is still living in England, We went to william Allett school Newhall in the 60s. |
Wow! I so jumped out my skin when I looked at the ghost walk photograph! and the next one! That was amazing! |
Hello, Just want to let you know that I really enjoyed the site and was very impressed with the |
I was born in Osmaston Manor, Osmaston, Ashbourne. My birth certificate says Belper, County of Derbyshire.
I have always wanted to re-visit England and see my birth place. I shall be back in March to visit my sister. And hopefully I will have time to visit Belper while I am there. |
What a lovely 2 hours I have had viewing your photos, amazingly the fading then and now photo of Abbeyst/Spa Lane Derby showing the pub the Lord Belper brings back memories as the first house opposite was where my uncle lived, I am 70 years old now but still remember going in that house. |
I happened upon the pictures of Horsley Woodhouse which took me down memory lane. Many a happy hour has been spent in the Jolly colliers in my youth. My father was the village doctor up until his untimey death in 1976, his name was doctor John Arthur. The local medical center at four lane ends bears his name. Thank you for posting the photographs. |
Having been born in the Derby City Hospital, educated in Derby and served an apprenticeship with the Derby Evening Telegraph before joining the Royal Air Force in 1967, I find this site absolutely fascinating. |
I just found this web site by chance and what a good site it. My late mothers family live in Derby and I have been going down there since I was born once or twice a year im now sixty and what memories this site has brought back to me seeing the Derby that I saw as a child was wonderful.And the then and now was even better. |
Thank you very much Andy for the photos and the information about the Liversage Arms in Derby! It has been very useful in my family tree research for the history of the pub as my great grandfather was the publican there in 1900. I was planning to visit it to take a look inside but in view of the latest news about the change to the pub (reported in Derbyshire Telegraph - thank you very much for the link). I think I will give it a miss!!! |
Andy, top pictures best local site on the web. |
Me and my wife have just spent hours looking through your website,and we would like to inform you that it is very interesting indeed. Thanks for all your hard work and bringing a little pleasure to our otherwise boring eveing (i.e.- not watching t.v). |
Hi Andy, |
First of all may I thank you for a wonderful experience in which your website is, a fascinating insight to the world of Derby. Your Then & Now images are truly outstanding. Well done!! |
I am an Anglophile but, more than that, I love Derbyshire. I don't know why. It's, I have finally decided, in the blood. I have been all over England and Scotland; yet, Derbyshire is my favorite place. |
Thanks Andy, spent nearly an hour going thru the photos. Loved the Then and Nows , well done.
