Title"The Way We Lived" by Mr J Storey, an account of his early years in Derbyshire. He was born in 1900 at Clowne. His father's father was a bailiff for the same farmer for over 40 years in Staveley; his mother was a daughter of George Vernon, personal valet to the Duke of Portland at Welbeck Abbey. He also gives an account of his father's life before marriage, including a journey to, and life in, Canada.

At the end is a paragraph of notes for each of Clowne, Creswell and Whitwell. Dated 1969, but with a reference to Mr Storey's return to Clowne in 1970 to see his brother.
