A history of Codnor Castle can be found on the Codnor page, while the Loscoe page gives a general overview of the village’s long history.

The Marlpool and Langley page has information about the Marlpool United Reformed Church, the old Langley Swimming Baths, and "Langley Castle," which was not what it sounds! Moving further afield, Shipley has details of the home of the Miller Mundy family, and their mining wealth, along with a page of more recent history, the ill-fated attempt to launch the Britannia Park in 1985, and a collection of old postcards. Smalley’s connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie is explained in more detail on the village’s page.

As well as the location pages, you will also find pages according to theme. The  industry section will hopefully later include separate pages on the main companies in the area - so far there are pages on Aristoc and Vic Hallam's. Mining was a major employer in the area, and there is also a separate page on mine accidents. Local personalities is another theme, and this section also has a topic on Henry Garnett, of Gunpowder Plot fame. In view of the popularity of the theme of transport, this section is split further into pages on the local canals, railways (including a separate photo gallery on the now disappeared Eastwood and Langley Mill Station), and roads/public transport. A full list of local churches and chapels is included, and there are pages on the vicars of Heanor, and the Langley Mill Baptist Church. November 2004 saw the addition of a page devoted to the various war-memorials in the area, while a little more unusual is the page on local ghost stories - more are welcome!
