Description
Derbyshire's forgotten heritage is revealed in this fascinating exploration of abandoned buildings and places. From well-known castles to more obscure family homes, air raid shelters, derelict mines, public buildings, railways, and even a theme park, each structure has a story to tell - one of former glory, decline, and abandonment. Illustrated throughout, this book offers a unique glimpse into the history of Derbyshire over the centuries. It's a testament to the county's rich past, where industries have faded, military threats have disappeared, leisure interests have had their day, and social status and personal wealth have moved elsewhere. A must-have for anyone interested in the history and architecture of Derbyshire. With its unique blend of history, architecture, and photography, this book is a fascinating look at a part of the county's past that is often overlooked.
