Historic Bank Street in Derby subject of 'Turnback Tuesday'


Turnback Tuesday looks at Bank Street, Derby. As you can see, it has a dirt road with hitching posts for horses and a stone step for carriages. Shutters were actually used, and not just for decoration.

The houses at 39 and 51 Bank St. are still there. #45 has been replaced with a newer model. On the left is where the now-Franklin School Apartments are located.
