We take you back to the swinging sixties in Derbyshire with these evocative images

From Chesterfield to Ripley - we go back to the 1960s with some more great images, including the Beatles playing in Buxton, to carnivals and street views taken across the Peak District, North Derbyshire and the Amber Valley.

See if you can spot anyone you know in these photos taken from Chesterfield Library’s local studies collection, plus our own archive.
