'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Bank Street in E. Derby

Turnback Tuesday visits Bank Street in East Derby this week. 
The house on the right is #31 (the original Derby Bank in 1809) and the one on the left is #34. If you look closely you can see many features of the day when this photo was taken. 
For example, a hitching post, stepping stone for a carriage, shutters on windows. Also this photo looks like it was taken in the spring. Not much in the way of leaves on the trees. 
The more you look at a photo, the more the story comes out. 
The five homes you see in the forefront are still standing today.


Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
