CROMFORD NEWS
Christmas Market, 10 December 2011
| The first Cromford Christmas Market was held on Scarthin Promenade on Saturday. More than 20 stalls had a variety of goods, including cakes, jewellery, pottery, toys and crafts.
Santa Claus was a popular figure with his sack of presents for the children.
|
| Mulled wine, roast chestnuts and pork and stuffing cobs were available, and the Boat Inn did a brisk trade.
Local school choirs and Cromford Band entertained with seasonal songs and music.
|
| Organiser Dave Greenhough said it had been a very successful day, with hundreds of people attending.
All the money raised will go towards a new Cromford sports pavilion.

Lantern Procession, 12 Nov 2011
A Lantern Procession in Cromford was attended by over 100 local people carrying more than 60 home-made lanterns. Most of the lanterns were made during free workshops held the week before at Cromford school and at the Methodist Church Hall.
The procession left from the school on North Street en route to Cromford Community Centre where there was a fantastic firework display. Cromford's two entries in Matlock Bath's Illuminations, Postman Pat's helicopter and the De Lorean car from Back To The Future, made an impressive last appearance on Cromford Millpond.
It was a magical evening for parents and children alike and the organiser of the event, Celebrating Cromford, is hoping to make the Cromford Lantern Procession an annual fixture.
Apple Day in Cromford 22 October 2011
It was a beautiful autumn day for the annual Apple Day in Cromford. Three apple presses were set up on Scarthin Promenade and many people brought along their apples to see them being pressed (or had a go themselves) into delicious juice to take home.
There were stalls selling apple produce, traditional apple games, apple identification, the longest peel competition (won by Nigel with 174cm!) and Morris dancers. This year Scarthin Bookshop and Celebrating Cromford were delighted to present the first "Putting the ART in ScARThin" to run concurrently with a dozen artists exhibiting their art on the railings around the Mill Pond.
Altogether a resounding success and a great day out.
Derwent Valley Line surges ahead August 2011
The Derwent Valley Line has been placed third in a table of the country's fastest growing branch lines. The route, between Matlock and Derby, calls at stations at Matlock Bath, Cromford, Whatstandwell, Ambergate and Duffield.
Over the past four years, passenger numbers have grown by 86%, increasing to 399,000 in the year 2010-2011.
The jump in passengers reflects the impact of people choosing to holiday at home and visiting tourist areas. Local residents are also making more use of the train for commuting or shopping.
Changes to Transpeak bus service? July 2011
The Transpeak bus service which runs from Manchester to Nottingham and passes through Cromford is to be operated by a new company.
Trent Barton, which currently runs the service, is to merge its Dove Holes unit with Bowers, based at Chapel-en-le-Frith.
High Peak, the new company, will start operating in the late summer or early autumn depending on when it is granted a licence by the Dept for Transport.
Operating from Dove Holes, it will have a fleet of 50 buses and about 100 employees. High Peak will also take over the Skyline 199 from Buxton to Manchester and a local Buxton service.
No changes to the timetable have so far been announced.
Luke in Heroes Run June 2011
Luke Gorse, who was seriously injured in Cromford when he came off his bicycle and was crushed under a lorry, is taking part in the Air Ambulance Heroes Run on Sunday June 19th at Locko Park in Spondon. The Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance flew Luke to hospital where doctors thought he might not survive.
Luke, now 14, made a good recovery and will be running with a group of friends in support of the air ambulance.
The accident happened on 3 September last year. Go to News Archive for a full report. See www.dlraa.co.uk/derbyshire-heroes-run to learn more about the Air Ambulance service.
Trees to be felled on Cromford Moor June 2011
The Forestry Commission is cutting down 3,500 trees in 15 acres of Cromford Moor this summer. Many of the trees have been attacked by the fungus red band needle blight disease which stunts the growth of or kills Corsican pine. This commercial crop will be replaced with Norway spruce and fir to maintain a good supply of wood.
There is no risk to wildlife as many animals and birds, including the nocturnal nightjar, thrive in cleared areas.
Other trees in the 200-acre woodland such as larch, fir and oak are not affected.
See News Archive December 2007 "Cromford Moor Regeneration"
Willersley Castle is buzzing. May 2011

Derwent House for sale.
14 April 2011
Derwent House is located on Mill Lane within the grounds of Willersley Castle. It has been used as offices by the Christian Guild, the owners of the Castle, since the 1980s. Now permission has been obtained for change of use back to residential. The money raised will be used to overhaul the Castle roof, which needs repairs amounting to £425,000.
