From 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Posted on this date in 2016

This week’s “Turnback Tuesday” is a photo taken around 1895.

From the information we have, it depicts a Mrs. H.A. Campbell standing on “The Wharf.” In the background is a boat containing a party of Derby people - including Reverend Fellows - apparently on their way to Indian Wells.

We welcome any additional info from our Facebook followers regarding this scene’s location, viewing perspective, bios, etc.

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