Ashbourne, a picturesque town nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, has a rich history that dates back centuries. As we explore its past through various maps and photographs, we are transported to different eras and witness the evolution of this charming place. Looking at the Map of Derbyshire from pre-1839, we see Ashbourne as a small dot on the landscape, surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, and is evident even then that this town held promise for growth and prosperity. Fast forward to 1695 with Rob Morden's Map of Darbyshire (Derbyshire), where Ashbourne emerges as a significant location on the map. Its strategic position along major trade routes made it an important hub for commerce and travel. Moving into the Victorian period, Ilam Hall stands proudly in Ashbourne, showcasing grandeur and elegance. This magnificent country house served as a symbol of wealth and status during that era. The Victorian charm continues with images capturing Ashbourne Market Place bustling with activity. On market days, locals would gather here to sell their wares or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere. The Edwardian period brings us another glimpse into these lively market days when people flocked to Ashbourne for their shopping needs. As time progresses into the early 1900s, we witness changes in architecture but not in spirit. The Market Place remains at the heart of community life while St. John Street showcases rows of quaint shops that have stood there for generations. One cannot miss noticing iconic landmarks like Green Man Hotel standing tall possibly in the 1920s or Church Street adorned with historic buildings dating back to earlier times. These structures serve as reminders of Ashbourne's enduring character throughout history. Finally, an exquisite lantern-style map from the 1840s takes us back in time once again; its intricate details capturing our imagination about what life was like during those years.
