These evocative images showcase Derbyshire's proud sporting heritage over the decades

We’ve dug deep into our archives to bring you this cracking gallery of sport around Derbyshire from many years ago.

The pictures include a tennis tournament in Buxton before the First World War, Derby County’s visit to Chelsea in 1913 and plenty of squad pictures from Chesterfield and the Rams down the years.

And no sports gallery for our county would be complete without cricket and some scenes from Derbyshire CCC.

There are of course plenty more images to take you back in time and a wonderful and very different era for sport.
