Ashby museum has an archive of over 3000 photographs – both original and copies. This page allows people to view the main group of photographs, but does not include photographs in specialist collections as these often include ones that are not in our primary area of interest. Larger images may be viewed at the museum during opening hours, and copies for private use may be purchased.
This page also allows access to details of artefacts (physical objects) held by the museum. Please note that when changing between photographs and artefacts, the classification list is only updated after the first search.

Looking outbound from Ashby, on the right is the site of the stonemason's yard (0ccupied by the Elliot's in the 1800's). John (Jack) Tidy ran the yard having purchased it (from a Michael Smith, who used to walk from Swadlincote to the yard daily) for £50 in 1948/49. Jack worked alongside Michael for a few months while the sale went through. Used to hire/borrow a horse and cart from Tommy Wainwright when they needed to go to the graveyards. Jack Tidy retired in about 1980, when he was 73 years old. He died in December 1986. The small brick building and wooden shed were a storeroom and workshop. Photo around 1980. Second photo shows site February 2013. The row of cottages now there, were built in approx 2009.
