Old photos of Cromford

On this website you'll find many excellent images from the old Cromford Wakes programmes. Glynn Waite has kindly allowed us to use these, and, we're pleased to say has this year he has kindly agreed to show the originals plus many other pics of old Cromford. These will be on display in the Methodist Church during Celebrating Cromford & we would encourage you to pop in and see them - Glynn has a wealth of fascinating & unique info about Cromford's past which he is always happy to share.

IT'S FREE

Most of the events in Celebrating Cromford are FREE. This is due to the hard work of the volunteers, the generosity of the community and irregular support we receive from grants. We thank everyone for their contribution. We'd also like to thank you for your interest ...and that would turn into an even bigger thank you if you could make a donation. 
It's easy - pop a fistful of change into a collecting box, or donate by clicking here.
