Welcome
to www.derbyphotos.co.uk, the website dedicated
to showcasing Derby and Derbyshire. On this website you
will be able to feast your eyes on the largest
collection of photographs of Derby and Derbyshire on the
Internet.
As you start to look around the many pages available here, you will discover that not only are there hundreds of high quality photographs to view but there is also a mountain of historical information for you to digest. There's a huge range of ideas for places for you to visit not just in the City of Derby but in Derbyshire and the Midlands. |
 |
|
 |
As
well as being able to view traditional photographs there
are also very wide-angle (up to 360°) panoramic
photographs, which allow you to see areas as
though you were actually there. 360 by 180 degree
Virtual Reality photography, have a look at my World
Wide Panorama photographs which feature Derby and
Derbyshire.
Night photography, which shows how different things look with out daylight, this is a side which you may take for granted. |
|
|
Then
& Now photography, which is a unique way of
being able to see how things change over time. Then
there is an ever-growing selection of old
photographs of Derby showing how the local area
used to look. |
 |
|
 |
This is a non-commercial site built and maintained by local photographer Andy Savage. I was born in Derby, Derbyshire, England and although I may not be that old I have witnessed a lot of changes to Derby over the years. By using my photographic skills, Website design experience and a lot of research I have created what I think you will agree is a very informative website about my city. It features exclusive information and photographs that you will not find anywhere else. |
|
|
The photographs you will see are all taken using a digital camera (unless otherwise specified). Most of the images are larger than you will see on most websites yet they still load in very quickly. At the end of the day this site is for the normal 56K modem user, if you are lucky enough to have an ADSL/Cable connection then you may like to view my Broadband Enhanced section which has been designed for people with Broadband Internet connections. |
 |
|
 |
If you
have any information relating to any of the pages on
this site which you feel others may like to read then
please let me know, I can never know each village in as
much detail as the people that live in them. |
|
|
To
view any of the areas on this main index simply move
your mouse pointer over a title down the left side of
this page and click on it. This will open up a window to
that page. |
 |
|
 |
On all of the sub pages you will see thumbnail images of the area, To view a large full screen version of any simply click on the image. This will make a new full screen viewing window open up, into which will the large photo will load. This viewing window will remain on screen for 1 minute and close automatically. If you wish to close the window before this then just click anywhere on the photo of using the X button as with a usual window. |

HISTORY |
||
|
Derby
is the only city in England to be given its name by the
Danes. If it weren't for the Vikings invading in AD873
the name would have been Northworthy . Northworthy was
captured by the Vikings to become part of Danelaw and
renamed Deoraby, or place of the deer to signify
the great deer-herds that roamed the Derwent valley.
This is why the Derby crest is a buck-in-the-park, This
crest can be seen all over the buildings of Derby.
The Saxons recaptured Deoraby in AD917 but the Danish name remained. No one knows for sure when or why the name changed to Derby (Pronounced 'Dar-bee'). |

 |
For those people that do not know Derby's location, You will find a Location maps link on the left side of this page. |
|
|
Unfortunately a lot of Derby's history has been lost forever but a wide variety of it remains for us to enjoy today. This website will allow you to see the many wonderful architectural achievements which Derby has on show. |

This Derby website is by no means a substitute for getting out of your chair and going to have a look at these places for your self, but if you would like to spend some time here then it will be time well spent. The historical information detailed here is drawn from either my own knowledge or collected from varying sources such as information plaques, leaflets, books and videos. |
|
| This
website is primarily aimed at three different categories
of people, firstly those people in other countries that
wish to see what England is like. Secondly for people that
used to live in Derbyshire but have now moved to another
area of England or another country completely. |
 |
|
 |
And
finally for those people in Derby that like to see areas
they might not have been before or may not even know
about and to let you know historical information about
the places and buildings. |
|
| On
this site you will be able to look at the photographs I
have taken while out and about in Derbyshire,
Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Because
I was born and raised in Derby most of the photographs and
historical information will be focused on Derby but the
other areas are still worth featuring. |
|
|
|
|
Over
the years I intend to cover every village in Derbyshire
but this may take a lifetime. |
