Excerpt from Bygone Derbyshire

The editing of this volume has been a labour of love, recalling happy memories of the past. It is more than twenty-five years since I resided in Derbyshire, and made myself familiar with its historic byways and highways. I have continued my studies of its old-time lore since I left the county, never missing an opportunity of obtaining a local work, and making a note of matters I deemed of interest and importance. In the following pages will be found the result of some of my gleanings.

In conclusion, I desire to tender my thanks to my contributors for assisting me to produce a book which I hope will not be regarded as an unwelcome addition to the literature of Derbyshire.
