Footpath crossing the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway
This looks like a sensible place for a footbridge but, judging by old Ordnance Survey maps, there never was one here and users of the footpath have to use the uneven steps, instead.

King's Field, Miller's Green, Wirksworth, Derbys
The cricket field used by the Wirksworth and Middleton Cricket Club. They were established in 1849 and 1880 respectively and finally merged in 2008. Wirksworth was once the centre of an important lead mining area - an expanse of 73,800 acres - known as the King's Field. In the C9th the area was owned by Repton Abbey and rent was paid to the Benedictine monks in the form of lead. When the Abbey was destroyed by the Danes in 875 AD, the area came under the control of the Danish King. In the Kings Field area, south of Wirksworth, individuals were allowed to search for lead, subject to the laws and customs of the appointed mining authority.
