Today our farmer contractor Neil Green rescued TWO truck drivers stranded at Long Rake, near Newhaven for 4 days. He dug them out with his tractor, gave them his dinner & drove to a garage to buy them hot food and drinks. What a hero! #TeamDerbyshire

Here's a lovely pic of the Queen and Prince Philip in 1949 in #Buxton . Do you have any picture memories of the Duke of Edinburgh? Post them and tag us in and our Record Office will use in a blog next week. @FranklinArchive @BuxtonMuseum @DerbyshireLibs

The A57 Snake Pass is CLOSED due to heavy snow and a jack-knifed lorry. Please do not attempt to use the route. Our gritter drivers are reporting difficult conditions on a number of other roads - including A53 Leek Road, A537 Cat & Fiddle and A515 Ashbourne to Buxton. Take care.
