• History

Every English county has pubs. Some have more than others. Derbyshire has lots of them. From back street locals to picture postcard inns in the Peak District, from city centre bars throbbing with life to sleepy hostelries barely surviving. Make no mistake, Derbyshire thirsts are being thoroughly well-catered for, and have been for centuries.

And we would like You & Yesterday users to write about Derbyshire's pubs on this site. Do you have a particular favourite? Perhaps you know something of a pub's history, remember a former landlord, or can relate a quirky fact or piece of mind-numbing trivia. Or maybe there is a question you want answering.

Whatever contribution you can make, just follow the simple steps to create a new page and start writing. Long or short, it doesn't matter - everything adds to our growing archive of Derbyshire knowledge.

The following pages relating to pubs, the brewing industry or drinking customs have already been created. Check them out to see the sort of thing that has been written - just click on a title.
