Barlborough High Street 1909
The small white cottage to the right of the picture stood by Blacksmiths yard. The other small cottages have also gone now and the village green and Ruthyn Avenue stand in their place.
Rose cottage is still here but was then called Ivy Cottage.
The Royal Oak pub stands in the background.
Thomsons Stores stood where the Post Office is now, there are vinegar barrels outside of the old store maybe awaiting collection.
V.E. Day Celebration 1945
This photograph was taken in Widdowson's Quarry Field on Clowne Road.
Do you recognise anyone on the picture, maybe you are one of the small children?
There are other photographs on the DVD of V.E Day Celebrations, some with refugee children.
Did you know some of the refugee children, are you still in touch with them?
