Choices & Plans

This week sees the conclusion of the "Lock To Lock" series on the Latest Images page at Ilkeston Cam. Apart from the "Trees of Victoria Park" which is also nearing completion, the only other outstanding series is titled "First Impressions" and this is really a stop gap or fill in strategy for when there is nothing else of interest taking place. I am therefore looking for a new subject for a monthly series to add to the site.

Over the years I have accumulated a number of leaflets and brochures which have in the past provided me with the basis for the "Special Features" section of this site. These have included Village Trails, Town Walks and many other miscellaneous items. I now have several options so I decided to make a list before devising a plan of action, I was surprised by the amount of choice open to me. I will summarise some of the options here as time goes by. Any feedback or suggestions would be welcome either by email, in the guestbook or by comment here on the Blog.

Among those leaflets and brochures there is a fistful from the county town of Derby (above) detailing its heritage buildings, several city centre walks and a mini-guide. I would hope to combine all of these into a route to encompass most of the places of interest similar to the already completed "Historic Nottingham" series.

Next week, I'll list some of the possible Town Walks for your consideration and follow that with some Village Trails but if you have any ideas in the meantime, don't hesitate to contact me.
