University of derby

''Over the years, two dozen bodies have contributed to the university's formation. The first of these was founded in 1851 as the Derby Diocesan Institution for the Training of Schoolmistresses. Albeit under different names so to reflect maturing objectives, the institution flourished as an individual entity for some 120 years before merging with another developing educational artery to help form what was then known as the Derby Lonsdale College of Higher Education, 1977.

The other line of this confluence began in 1853 with the establishment of the Derby School of Art, which in 1870 became the Derby Central School of Art and the Derby Central School of Science. In 1885, the two schools were reformulated into the Derby School of Art and Technical Institution. Less than a decade later however, 1892, three more mergers took place and the institution became the Derby Municipal Technical College.''

Picture House

Jeffrey Moss, a film maker

'I travel all the time, so my home has to be a place of calm, somewhere I can spend time just to burrow in, get cosy and gather myself'

 

'It feels like we're always talking about what's new. Old photos help me look at the past and see that the people back then weren't so different from us today.'

Jeffery moss is a film maker who like to travel alot he works for big-name American clients. The first thing you notice about this house other than the enviably large rooms, high ceilings and wooden floors are montages of old photographs.  He hopes ' People walk in and get stuck in front of the wall' some of the stories that are captured by the pictures and watched her cynicism melt away. ' The stories, though have to be made up, as Jeffrey doesn't know who any of the people are.' They're part of a collection he started years ago- none taken later than about 1963. ' Filling the space has been like working on an art project.'
