    I want to visit. My great grandfather was born in Derbyshire and moved to USA as a baby. He served for England in WW2. I believe he came from a family of farmers.

    Hi I don't know if you will pick this up after a year but you seemed to be interested in the Cathedral's architecture, its size and shape etc. It is one of the smallest Cathedrals but it was never mean to be it was originally built as a parish church starting in 943. It was neglected over the centuries and in the 18th Century it was rebuilt incorporating some of the original building, so its a bit of a mixture. Derby was a town until 1977 and it became a Cathedral in 1927. It is also locally famous for a pair of Peregrine falcon that nest and breed every year on its tower.

    I actually bought the bike i wanted to look at from them over the internet, on the day we went to the Shop, they had no stock online, but a few days later they emailed me to say they had one in stock 😃👍

    Familiarity breeds contempt as the old adage says, Derby looks much better on film than in reality and I can say that as I live there.😥

      Good to know. I see here that a lot of people are against what's happening now in Derby. I wonder what's the main reason 🤔..
