Memory Lane

Cricketers

Either these cricket players are of a naturally cheery disposition - or someone has just cracked a good gag, judging by the smiling faces.

Basil bus

A Heanor bus company is christening one of its number with a snappy new title in this picture.

Here are some of the latest pictures of times gone by in the area.

Awards for students

Awards are being handed out here to technology students, we think at South East Derbyshire College, but was it in Heanor or Ilkeston?

Treading the boards

Taking part in a production of Oliver are members of the cast of Marlpool URC, which still puts on shows today.

Dancing marathon

Young disco fans are taking part in a dancing marathon.

Young morris men in action

Children from a primary school in Selston look to have pushed the boat out when it comes to costumes for this event.

Life on the water

A civic leader and helpers are gathering coal as they attended the Langley Mill Boat Rally at Langley Mill Basin.

New to the job

It looks like there is a new boss in charge in this picture. The only details with this shot from the 1980s is that it was an event involving Ripley, Heanor and Eastwood Ladies Circle.

Footballing lads

Youngsters from Heanor Rangers Football Club pose for a team picture in this 1980s photograph from our archives.

Days when coal was moved by cart

Before canals and railways, coal had always been transported by road and was therefore mainly for local use.

Ready for roadworks
