The 21st century may be filled with great technological innovations and inventions, however there is something so charming about times gone by.
Maybe, as we near the end of year, bracing for a busy festive season that we look for ways to take stock.
One way is to appreciate the rich heritage of our beautiful county and to reflect on the past and delve into old photographs.
From photos of the great Chatsworth House, to a fairground with an old school carousel at Riddings Park, we invite you to enjoy a trip into the past.
1. Eyam
Eyam's sombre history is truly sobering. These are the houses where the Great Plague broke out in the summer of 1965. The brave village isolated itself from the outside world to halt the infection and stop it from spreading further. After 16 months only 83 of the village's 350 inhabitants had survived.

2. Chatsworth House
The great house sits across the River Derwent, Derbyshire, photographed in the late 19th or early 20th century. The first house at Chatsworth was built by Bess of Hardwick and her second husband Sir William Cavendish. Chatsworth House has been the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire since 1687. | The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images
