The River Derwent though Derby city centre by drone June 2022.
 
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.
I have an ever growing collection of local videos featuring Derby and
Derbyshire, lots of which are now recorded in HD Quality. Have a look at my
Video Channel on YouTube : Comedyhunter




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.
So every piece of local knowledge will help to make this a better website.
Please get in touch using the 'Feedback' option on the left side of this page.

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.
Use your Browsers BACK button to get back to this main index page or the Index
button which you will find at the bottom of every page on this website.




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.
Derby has changed considerably in the last few years, So if it has been some
time since you visited or perhaps you now live in another country I recommend
you have a look at my photographs.

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.
