GETTING CRABS, THROWING STONES AND OTHER OFFENCES: 19th CENTURY TRESPASSERS IN MILFORD – BELPER 250
Sun 30th Aug

Talk by Jane Whitaker, the fourth in a series of five from the Belper North Mill Trust. A notebook kept by the Milford Nightwatchmen in the 1830s was handed over to Belper Historical Society in 2022. After transcribing the book, it was possible to identify the people involved, the places that attracted trespassers and the punishments meted out to offenders. The talk shows a fascinating and very detailed picture of a different side of local life.
