The spectators are presumably the charabanc's passengers who have had a lucky escape. The stone bridge with cutwaters probably dates from the 17th century.

Our latest retro gallery shows an intriguing array of photos from across Derbyshire in the 1900s.

Images include Sutton Scarsdale Hall, near Chesterfield, in its former glory. Built in the 17th century, it was remodelled into one of the finest Baroque mansions in the county in 1724.

This photograph shows the front facade of the hall, which has now sadly fallen into ruins.

Other images include the former Municipal Hall, in Chesterfield and a Coronation Party for King George V and Queen Mary in 1911, in Matlock.
