Jack Reynolds Way is about halfway up Sycamore Road – where Jack lived with his beloved wife Kathleen – and the pathway leads up to Laurel Crescent.
When the sign was installed earlier this year, Jack’s daughter Jayne Goodwin, 60, of Brimington Common, told the Derbyshire Times: “This is a wonderful tribute to my dad.
“We're all absolutely delighted with it and so proud.
“He will never be forgotten.”
Great-great grandfather Jack – who was dubbed ‘Britain’s oldest daredevil’ – made headlines across the globe for achieving four Guinness World Records after his 100th birthday, raising thousands of pounds for many good causes.
