I went to Belper today, inspired by a slide show by you Adrian. I walked around for over 2 hours it was great. Belper has some beautiful streets and buildings. 🙂

So pleased my video brought you into the town. Hopefully you'll return - there's so much to see. Fantastic independent shops and cafes too.

@@adrianshistoricbelper yes I will definitely return. I went Cromford as well, I'm not far away in Leicester.
Best wishes

Fantastic video, thank you! Would you have any information on the old children home, "Fernslope" on Chesterfield Rd, part of Church View? Thanks!

My Great grandfather had a shoe repairers on the Butt's and also made clogs and was known as Cloggy Wass. My Aunt Clara Brown was the caretaker of Field Head Chapel and remember it well. 😊😊😊😊😊

Cloggy Wass was well known throughout the town.

I really enjoyed this!Though it was a bit dizzying! You weren't speaking too fast, it's just putting it all together in my head! Especially living up in Shipley Yorkshire for twenty years. But I do return now and again!

Great video!

Very good but you can see they still managed to ruin or pull buildings down mostly after the war and replace them with monstrosities
