Memories of Ashopton
Students and staff at Chesterfield College Digital Technologies pathway recreated the village of Ashopton, lost for 75 years to Ladybower Dam over the space of 13 weeks from January - April 2018. The recreation is based upon newly discovered photos obtained by Bamford and District History Group (http://www.bamfordvillage.co.uk/histo...)
