On Saturday November 3rd you are invited to the launch of a new local history book by local author Keith Taylor: “The Matlocks and District in the Second World war – a diary of events in Matlock, Matlock Bath and district 1935-1955.”
The venue for the launch is Matlock Library between the hours of 10am and 2pm. 530 photographs provide nostalgic glimpses of town and village scenes, leisure time activities, schooldays, sporting events and working life (including some in Bonsall).
