two dales
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 donīt hesitate to contact.

I remember...
I remember living in Shirebrook Miners Welfare for years with my parents Mick and Joan and having some fantastic times. Everybody seemed to get on with each other and it had a real community feel. I remember trying to watch TV whilst hearing the sound of the brass band rehearsals coming through from the rooms next door. This seems very basic but I had such a great time growing up in this club and I have never forgotten it. I just wish we could have stayed for a few more years but times have to change. I hope whoever else lived there after my family and I had as good a time as I did.

Tracing my roots
I traced my ancestors to Eckington - they were the Littlewood Family and date back to 1798. The males were all named Joseph in each generation and they worked as first a farmer and then they worked in Applebys Foundry as iron moulders and brass moulders. My Great Grandma Ellen Littlewood delivered me in Wombwell where she lived until her death in 1971 and she told me about Eckington and I was delighted to find relatives in Eckington cemetery & Eckington churchyard. I am still searching and would be glad of any information.

Birchinlee
I don't have memories of Derwent Reservoir but my Great Grandfather was a Navvy who worked on the building of the Howden and Derwent Reservoirs and Dams. He lived with his family in the purpose built village of Birchinlee in hut number 80. Derwent Valley Water Board did their workers proud by providing them with excellent accommodation and facilities. I am really proud that one of my ancestors played a part in the construction of such a magnificent structure.

Extracts From Hulland Village & Derbyshire books
The pump at Ashford, on the left, is the site of one of the village's six well-dressings, held annually in early June. Note the milk lorry loaded with churns parked in Buxton Road, which leads off to the right.

Once famously described by the novelist George Eliot as 'the finest mere parish church in England', St Oswald's parish church at Ashbourne has long been regarded as one of Derbyshire's finest. It dates from the 13th century, and its soaring 212ft spire is a landmark for miles around.

Although described in this 1950s photograph as 'The Mill', this sturdy 18th-century cottage at picturesque Ashford in the Water, near Bakewell, looks more like a farmhouse, with its barn and stables on the left. Ashford was a centre of lead mining in the 18th and 19th centuries, and is now a popular tourist village.

Lover's Leap in Ashwood Dale, near Buxton, is one of several in the Peak which recall a long-forgotten romantic tragedy. It is just visible in the depths of a limestone cleft to the south (left) of the main dale as you approach Buxton on what is now the A6.
An extract from from"Derbyshire Revisited Photographic Memories".
Ashwood Dale is just one of the names given to the deep limestone valley of the River Wye as it winds between Bakewell and Buxton. Others include Monsal Dale, Miller's Dale and Chee Dale, and it only becomes Wye Dale and Ashwood Dale as it approaches Buxton.
