From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Sugar Street in Derby

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" photo shows the old Sugar Street home of Garrett Smith and Z. Hallock. 

Sugar Street is now known as Roosevelt Drive or Route 34 West. It was called Sugar Street because in the mid 1800s, sugar and other products from the West Indies came into Derby Docks and were transported along this route.

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