• History

Perhaps town market places are areas that tend to survive. Certainly, Belper has remained pretty much intact over the past century.

A few windows and shop frontages have been added here and there but the buildings are essentially the same. The church appears to have lost its spires. Can anyone explain that? Also some of the houses to the right have disappeared. Do you know when that happened? The market place has been repaved but even the drinking fountain in the middle has survived the years.
