This slide show presentation takes the traveller along the Hope Valley Line through the Peak District on a 20 mile railway journey from Sheffield to Edale (Cowburn Tunnel). Breathtaking scenery is passed which inspired Britain’s first National Park. Using recently taken slides, this show will include historical information, a few poetry readings and many laughs along the way! Sadly Stephen’s faithful German Shepherd dog Wrawby passed away in October 2017, but in words and pictures, his memory lives on and this presentation is no exception. From luscious landscapes and moorland views to riverside walks and tea room trails, all four seasons will feature, with the aim and challenge of capturing the route in a scenic artistic composition. Please take your seat for The Hope Valley Line.

This is a compelling and hugely important film of the American historian Deborah Lipstadt’s defence of her critique of holocaust denial. Written by David Hare and starring Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson and Timothy Spall, the film (2016, directed by Mick Jackson) explores the libel case brought by David Irving against Lipstadt and Penguin Books. Based on Lipstadt’s book about the case, Denial: Holocaust History on Trial, the film explores vital questions of historical knowledge. We will consider the film adaptation, its making and issues it raises about historical fact and interpretation.

Led ore has been mined in the limestone area of Derbyshire since prehistoric times and work continued until the mid-twentieth century, controlled by a set of unique laws which were ‘ancient in 1235’. This talk explores geology of the ore field and nature of ores, mining methods and control, and how to recognize mining remains in the landscape.
