This photo comes from a book called Derbyshire part of the series, King’s England, written by Arthur Mee and published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1937. It shows the back of Orchard Farm in the left hand corner, with a view that is somewhat different today. The photo appears to have been taken close to the track on Monsdale Lane that says “Unsuitable for motors”. Thank you to JF-S for finding this gem.
If anyone has any old photos of Parwich, maybe we could borrow them, scan them and put them on the blog.



This looks very like the painting that was featured on the blog here last year – the one that was shown on the Antiques Road show at Chatsworth ( not quite sure of the details and can’t find it in the archive)
Patti, I was thinking the same thing. Here’s a link to the Antiques Roadshow post. As you’ll see, the painting is clearly based on the photo.
Which camera did you use to take the photo John?
