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.

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