On John Palmer's www.wirksworth.org website is a section showing photographs of Alderwasley and Wirksworth, taken by Alice Hurt between 1845 and 1860. Amongst these very early photographs is one of Ann Walker, nee Milbourn, who was my 3 x great grandmother: Photo 3 on <http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/B50ALICE.htm#2> http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/B50ALICE.htm#2 The photograph was scanned, with the publisher's permission, from a book and so the quality is not very good when the surrounding detail is cropped. Obviously, I'm anxious to obtain a good quality image, and this probably means finding the original photograph. The back story is that Alice HURT (1837-1894) was one of 15 children of Francis HURT (1803-1861) and Cicilia Emely, living at Alderwasley Hall. Derek Wain, in "The Hurts of Derbyshire", published by Landmark Publishing Ltd in 2002, ISBN 1-84306-042-6 writes: "Her chief hobby was photography.... About 1860 she put together an album of her photos taken since 1850. Roger Taylor of Bradford, formerly Curator of Photographs in the National Museum of film and Photography, saw and purchased an old photograph album in a second-hand bookshop in Sheffield. It was Alice Hurt's album..... " Can anyone provide information on the current whereabouts of this album, or of Derek Wain or Roger Taylor? I realise that it is now over 12 years since the album was re-discovered.
