    Probably one of the most iconic symbols of a football ground, the turn stile, they all have them and they last for years, mainly until clubs move ground, then they are tossed to one side, so it was a privilege to become the custodian of this original Ellison surge control turnstile dating back to the start of the last century, when you think of the hundreds of thousands of Rams fans that will have passed through it, myself, my dad and my grandad being three it makes you stop and think.
    it was there through everything, Bloomer, the FA Cup paraded around the ground, Clough and Taylor, Jim Smith etc, it’s a real snapshot of our clubs history and heritage.
    Anyhow, it’s now fully restored in working order with brass keep plate and counter and looks resplendent,
    it belongs in an official club museum so I’m going to keep on endeavouring to get one.
    we have a massive Rams Heritage display at Pride Park on the 3rd and 4th June so come along.

    I have used Arsenal as a great example and told David that we have an open invite from the club to go back down, they have set up a fantastic timeline of where the club came from and followed the history through to modern day, great use of lighting and sound adds to the experience, story boards as you walk through, it’s not about trophies it’s a celebration of the heritage, we can include our engineering links with the railways and the aero industry and make it about the people of Derby and how the club has been integral to their lives for the past 140 years, lots of photos and media, we had three screens running over the display on a loop which people just stood and watched, then importantly we will change the exhibits on a regular basis to keep it interesting and include themes such as eras or cup competitions through the season, it can be tied in with the ticket office, the yard and the club shop and of course ground tours, money can be made by the club, the good thing is that we are now up and running, lots of hard work over the years is now coming together, keep watching this space 👍🐏❤️

    A tremendous effort by the heritage team and all memorabilia was superbly presented - at last - real steps towards a Rams heritage space at PPS are moving forward. It's been promised since the stadium was in the planning stages!
    Very enjoyable afternoon and great to meet the R H T folks. You can be very proud of the exhibition and here's to many more!
