Louise, So when you go into Alfreton, you'd go through South Normanton wouldn't you ... by going (over ?) the roundabout rather than down the A38 to Derby. If you come down the A38 towards Derby and turn left, your heading towards me ! Elaine ;-) |

Elaine, Sorry I've lived here for nine years but I've never been into any pubs. So I haven't got a clue where any of the mentioned ones are. We live about a mile and a half from the Mc Arthur Glen place. Louise. |

Margaret, You must let us know when you go back for a visit, as I just said, several Mancunians are wanting to meet up at Matlock and I'm only 30 mins away ! Were you born at Willersley castle ? or am I reading it wrong ... it wouldn't be the first time today ! Elaine :-) |

South Normanton I know June ! Sounds like you have rellies/ancestors here ? A few of my Mancunian friends are wanting to come over to Matlock for an hour at the Records Office and several hours in the pub ! Shall I keep you informed ? ... I've got the Derbyshire 61 & 41 if you ever need a lookup ... I'm usually on Records ... you only have to ask. Elaine :-) |

Hi Elaine, I lived in South Normanton until I was 16, when my parents moved to Blackpool. I used to cycle in to Matlock, I would love to come back to look around and also look for some rellies. June xx |

I have been to see the place and I loved Matlock went on the cable car up to the heights of Abraham. Hope I will be going back again for another look around one day. Margaret xx |
