Photo History of the 1853 Crich Stand

For obvious reasons Crich Stand has been photographed from near and far as it is quite a landmark from many places in the county. The following are photographs and postcards taken throughout the years.

The following kindly provided these photographs and postcards:
Beryl Calladine, P.N. (private album), L. Barber, R.M. Larimore, Sue Worboys.

On the commencement of the building the residents of Crich presented Francis Hurt with an Inscribed Presentation Bible dated 1851.
