a range of audio & video files
from our reminiscenCE interviews

During the project we have collected a wide range of audio interviews, as well as old photos of the area. This page contains all those files for you. Simply follow the links below for all the different sound and video files.

The reminiscence interviews were organised and led by Rosalind Allen of Groundwork Derby & Derbyshire. Questions were taken from pupils and staff from the two key schools: Chaddesden Park Junior School and Allenton Community Primary School. Groundwork would like to express gratitude to all the people who have helped to make this resource possible.

Please note: All video and audio files are in a Windows Media format for maximum compatibility.
