TRIP TO THE PEAK DISTRICT - ASHBOURNE AND BELPER

Last weekend we visited Belper in the Peak District. I wanted to go to an Allison Uttley evening on Friday which was very good. Joyce Vartey read from some of Allison's essays and Pete Castle sang some folk songs. Our journey took us through Ashbourne. The pictures below depict some street scenes of Ashbourne and Belper. Belper was famous for its mills where stockings were made and also for its nails.
