Publisher's Synopsis

Derbyshire is a picturesque county - but it has many a tale to tell. Locals and thousands of visitors often stroll past buildings and landmarks unaware that these were once the focus of intense drama and intrigue. Here, Glyn Jones ranges over many of the most intriguing and sometimes disreputable aspects of Derbyshire's Victorian past to reveal an unexpected history - amusing, tragic, ironic, and occasionally downright shocking!
