Heanor, Derbyshire

Heanor, home of the Gingerbread Duck,  is a small town in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, pretty much on the South Derbys/North Notts border.  

Built in 1876, the Town Hall was during the early part of the twentieth century a cinema called Buxton`s Picture Palace.

Bromley House. This former bank has been converted into flats and is owned by a charity called Aspire.  The date plaque at the top is dated 1895 with the lettering NJSB, which stood for Nottingham Joint Stock Bank.

There are other interesting buildings in the area, but given my limited expertise with a camera, I`ve not been able to achieve a decent picture of them ! 

I`ll try again another time. 

There is a local history group, Heanor and District Local History Society, and a Facebook page, Heanor Bygones.
