ASHBOURNE: Derbyshire Dales Parish #'16 of 109

DERBYSHIRE DALES PARISH #16: ASHBOURNE
Ashbourne - “Ash Tree Stream”
Deep in the heart of the Derbyshire Dales there lies a town with an ancient tradition, one which sees a crowd take to its streets for two days of the year, to watch a football match like no other you’ve ever seen before. That town is Ashbourne, nationally famous for its annual Shrovetide Football game, contested between the Up'ards and the Down’ards.
It’s a place with a rich industrial heritage too. It was here where Nestle produced Carnation Milk, in a huge factory. It was served by a railway line which ran to Buxton, but only a handful of clues that remain to its existence.
So with lots to cover, lets get cracking.

Great episode, Andy, very much enjoyed it, and the related 'Tales from the Village Green' also covering the football match. Looks to be a real experience!
