Here's 25 eye-catching pictures by Derbyshire Times photographer Brian Eyre which capture life and the changing face of Derbyshire over the last 35 years

In fact Brian Eyre has been taking pictures for the Derbyshire Times for well over 30 years now – and he certainly knows what makes a good picture.

In our latest retro gallery we have nipped into the archives to look back on just a few of the thousands of photos Brian has taken.

The gallery covers the full spectrum of life in our county, with pictures of community events, exam celebrations, issues that matter to local folk and some sadder times.

Take a look and see if you or your community is featured.
