Bamford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bamford is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, England, lying on the River Derwent, served by Bamford railway station on the Hope Valley Line.
The village, which lies under the Bamford Edge cliffs, is the location of the water treatment works covering the Ladybower, Derwent and Howden Reservoirs. It also has a sculpture trail and, in Mid-July, there is a well-dressing festival.
Across the valley is Thornhill Hall, once the seat of the Eyres who were a large family of landed gentry in this part of Derbyshire.
The football team is steeped in history with the famous Mcveigh family providing many players to this day.[citation needed]
