Derby Road

Dated: 26 September 1973
Taken by: unknown

Broken down Primula Cheese delivery truck being towed by a Kenning recovery truck broke free and crashed into No.46 Derby Road, home of the Neal family. This accident was at the junction of the A52 Borrowash Bypass and Derby Road and made the front page of the Derby Evening Telegraph.  Some of the Celanese Cottages seen here were demolished when the flyover for the A52 Extension was built through to Derby.
