https://www.crichparish-ww1.co.uk/ww1webpages/zeppelinraidderby.html#:~:text=On this day (February 1,attack due to the shock. Zeppelin bombs Derby WW1 However, just after midnight on February 1, L14 was over Derby, where it dropped its remaining 21 high explosive bombs and four incendiaries at nine locations on the south side of the city. No-one knows the exact order of the raid, but from the spread of the targets โ Royceโs in the south to the Locomotive Works of the Midland Railway in the north and the Etches Park gas works in the east โ it suggests that L14 approached from the south, working roughly north along the Osmaston Road at about 8,000ft before bombing the Loco Works and then ending up at the gas works. For the rest follow the link above

They had those long bamboo sticks with a hook on the end to change the poles, in wet weather the cables would spark especially when they went over a cable junction. And the penalty for spitting on a bus was 10\- Sitting upstairs on a Trolly bus watching Boker Wright and Winnie Austin fighting outside the Spotted Horse, such memories. ๐

I did read that at one time Derby had more medieval buildings than York, The Council soon sorted that out. I remember going through the Town centre and there were huge areas that had been demolished especially behind the Cheddar Cheese

Ram-Alf I fixed to for you, the Council destroyed the city center in the 1960s as I am sure you remember
