Month: December 2016

Since publishing ‘On the Doorstep and Beyond the Gate’ I have been asked whether ‘On the Track of Unstone’s Past’ is still available.  Actually the book is currently out of print but a revised edition is planned for 2017.  It is more than five years since information for the book was researched and in that time more material has been gathered together, so it is now due an update.  Keep an eye on the website for when ‘On the Track’ will be available to purchase from Unstone Post Office.

Some of the old images I have collected of Unstone are truly wonderful.  Many were taken by H. Walker, Newsagent, from around 1910 to the 1930s and copies have been for sale on Chesterfield flea market for a number of years.  Working with the images and enlarging them reveals adverts on billboards, number plates on cars and certain styles of clothing relating to the Victorian and Edwardian eras.  Starting with images of Unstone Post Office in three of its four locations I have created new images which will be coming soon in the form of blank cards for sale at Unstone Post Office.
