CURIOSITIES INDEX It is thanks to two booklets by Frank Rodgers that this page has been developed. Curiosities of Derbyshire the Peak District 1992 and More Curiosities of Derbyshire the Peak District 2002. A few additional sites have also been found and added. If any other interesting locations are known then please contact me with relevant information.
