Description
Derby has undergone significant transformation since its medieval roots. Following the establishment of silk mills and china factories in the 18th century, the city became a hub for heavy engineering, with the arrival of railways in the 19th century further solidifying its industrial heritage. The production of Rolls-Royce cars and aero engines cemented Derby's reputation as an engineering centre. However, over the past century, much of the city's manufacturing industry has relocated, leaving behind a changed landscape. Street widening, housing clearance, retail developments, and suburban expansion have all contributed to the transformation of Derby's face. This photographic history presents a portrait of a city that has radically changed or disappeared, showcasing not only its former industries, buildings, people, and street scenes but also popular entertainment venues and other notable locations. A fascinating look at lost Derby, this book will appeal to those who live in the city or have a connection to it, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
