This article shows the police took the noise from rowdy behaviour late at night very seriously , this was when policemen were on the beat, things have changed a bit in the last 90 odd years and sadly no police men on the beat now!

WHITTINGTON RAILWAY CROSSING
The above photo taken around 1890 shows the old gas works and the railway line which went to Sheepbridge Works, Dunston and Barlow (Courtesy of Chesterfield Library)
This map posted by Paul Greenroad some time ago shows the junction with all the lines.
A later picture again posted by Paul Greenroad looking towards Sheepbridge?

THE BRIGHTMORE FAMILY
Whilst I was ambling around the churchyard at St Bartholomews I saw the headstone for the Brightmore Family with several family members listed. I thought I would research some of the family history as the Brightmore family lived in both New and Old Whittington.
