Take a walk down memory lane as we bring you snapshots of the past.
Celebrations, weddings, parties, outings, sunny days and April showers.

Readers have sent in their precious memories of times gone by and we want more of you to do the same.

If you have any fond memories, stories or snapshots of Matlock, Wirksworth, Bakewell or the surrounding areas, email us or pop into the office.

Here are a few to set you off.

If you recognise yourself, friends or family members in any of the pictures, or have more information to add about them, then let us know and we can update them.

If any one recognises the pictures please call the office as we are eager to reunite them with their owners.
