In the 1980's Tony was an Estate Agent in Buxton and as such had a set of 1:2500 Ordinance Survey maps of Buxton, which show individual buildings based on a survey done in 1919.

He decided to base his talk on these maps of 1919 Buxton and with old photographs illustrate all the buildings that had been demolished in Buxton since 1919 and show their replacements.

This third talk next week covers Church Street, West Road, Spencer Road, Green Lane, London Road, Heath Street, Market Street and South Avenue. With extracts from the maps, projected from a computer onto a screen, he illustrates the buildings that have gone with old photographs.

The first talk in 2007 covered Spring Gardens, The Crescent, Pavilion Gardens, Broad Walk, Market Place, Hardwick Square, Terrace Road and The Slopes. The second talk in 2008 covered Corbar Road, Devonshire Road, The Park, St John's Road, Burbage, Ladmanlow, Holmfield, Green Lane and Bath Road.

The Buxton Group has over 50 members and meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the Old Hall. They are interested in the well being of the town and deal with planning issues and all developments.

They are members of Vision Buxton and the Area Forum, and produce several newsletters a year. The talk is for Buxton Group members, new members being welcome.

The annual subscription in £5 per year individual or £7 for family members.
