I'm now on another school run to Derby. On route, at Buckland Hollow, there's this at the roadside.

Close up of the plaque.
"Near here was Widow Hepworth's farm where a servant was shot dead"

I did a quick google and found this Wiki reference. I found it quite interesting  :)

Here's a link to the Amber Valley Council website. They have a similiar story online.

There was no police force at that time. Order was maintained by the various semi-private armies such as the yeomanry, while intelligence was gathered by the Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth, from a network formed of local magistrates and paid informers

Saw another plaque yesterday. Hadn't seen it before. Probably been there since I saw the last one.
Eyes on road and mirrors me. Not what's on walls or windmills  :P

Barry, you seem to be seeing a lot of things recently - shouldn't you be keeping your eyes on the road?!!!  >;

My new escort on the new transportation contract is very observant.
Plus I've only been doing this contract for the last six month.
I'm bound to see things travelling a new route day in day out.
