Pride Park Stadium, Derby added to Sporting Venues and Arenas in East Midlands by D0c.Col on 23/04/2025

THE EVER CHANGING FORTUNES OF DERBY COUNTY FOOTBALL CLUB

Derby County Football Club is a professional association football club in Derby, England. They compete in the EFL Championship, the second level of the English football league system (At the time this video which was published during the 2024/25 season).
One of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, Derby County is one of only nine clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system (126 seasons up to the end of the 2024–25 season), with all but six of those being in the top two divisions.
The club was founded in 1884 by William Morley as an offshoot of Derbyshire Coun-ty Cricket Club. Its competitive peak came in the 1970s when it twice won the First Division and competed in major European competitions on four occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years – finishing league runner-up twice in the 1930s – and winning the first post-war FA Cup in 1946.
The club's home colours have been black and white since the 1890s. The team's nick-name, The Rams, honours its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, its mas-cot being a ram, and its regimental song. They have a long-standing rivalry with Not-tingham Forest, with whom they contest the East Midlands derby.
The best era for the club was in the 1970s when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took over and led Derby to its greatest glory. Starting at 18th in the Second Division in 1968, Clough and Taylor acquired Alan Hinton, Roy McFarland, and John O'Hare, then clinched the influential signing of Dave Mackay to lead the club to 1st place in 1969, and promotion to the First Division. Derby went on to finish fourth in 1970. Due to financial issues the club were banned from competing in Europe but went on to win their first ever Football League Championship in 1972. Though Derby did not retain their title the following season, they did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they lost to Juventus. Clough's frequent outspoken comments against football's establishment eventually led to him falling out with the board of directors at the club, and Clough and Taylor left in October 1973. Such was their impact on the club that, 37 years later, a 9 ft (2.75 metres) bronze statue of the pair was erected out-side Pride Park in commemoration of their legacy.
After finishing in 12th place in their first season back in the top flight league, the club left the Baseball Ground, its home of 102 years, to move into the new 33,597-seat Pride Park Stadium for the 1997–98 season. The Baseball Ground was demolished six years later and a memorial was eventually erected in memory of its role in Derby city history.
A sudden decline at the turn of the millennium saw three years of struggle for the club and in April 2006, a consortium of local businessmen led by former vice-chairman Peter Gadsby purchased the club, reducing its debt and returning Pride Park Stadium to the club's ownership in the process.
Over the next decade, or so, the club had mixed fortunes, various owners, and a change in it’s stadium name, only for it to return to it’s original name of ‘Pride Park Stadium’ some years later, and is currently on its longest spell outside of the top tier.
Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd purchased Pride Park from Mel Morris on 17 June 2022 and remains the current owner, as the club competes in the second tier in the 2024–25 season.

Hutton-in-the-forest, Eden (By D0c.Col)

Hutton-in-the-Forest sits quietly on the northern edge of the Lake District, surrounded by ancient woodland that once formed part of the royal Inglewood Forest. It’s one of the most historic country houses in Cumbria — and one of the few still lived in by the same family who’ve owned it for more than four centuries.

At the heart of Hutton lies a medieval pele tower, built around 1350 for defence during the turbulent border wars with Scotland. You can still see traces of that purpose in the arrow slits and thick stone walls. Over time, the fortress grew into a family home, as new wings were added in the Tudor, Jacobean, Georgian, and Victorian periods — each generation adding comfort and character rather than replacing what came before.

This gradual evolution makes Hutton almost a timeline of English domestic architecture in one building. The east front reflects the elegance of the 17th century, while the Gothic details on later sections come from a 19th-century redesign by Anthony Salvin, the same architect who worked on Alnwick Castle and parts of Windsor.

The gardens here are among the oldest in the north of England. The formal topiary yews, some over 300 years old, date back to the 17th century. The walled garden, first laid out in the 1730s, still produces fruit, vegetables, and flowers, much as it did centuries ago. Beyond it, the 18th-century parkland reflects the naturalistic tastes of the Georgian era, influenced by the style of Capability Brown.

Hutton’s setting still carries echoes of its medieval origins. The surrounding woods are remnants of the old royal hunting forest — home to oak and beech trees that have stood for hundreds of years.

I took off from the carpark as it was a quiet day, but the roadside is only about 50m further on. Refreshments and toilet facilities are on site as are places to sit and reflect.
