A story of Romans, Vikings and onto the 18th century Enlightenment, Derby became noted for fine ceramics, industry and engineering. A centre of the British railway industry, it is the home of iconic Rolls Royce and the Toyota car assembly plant. Derby located at the start of the UNESCO Derwent Valley World Heritage site, hosts the world’s first factory, now the Museum of Making.

Faith Trails in Derby-
I am associated with the Open Centre in Derby in a voluntary capacity. It exists to promote understanding and respect between different communities. As part of their work, they have been delivering Faith Trails for many years. These entail visits to places of worship, for example, to Anglican, Baptist and Catholic Churches, Hindu Temples, Mosques and Sikh Gurdwaras. Derby Open Centre has no affiliation to any specific faith-based group. If your group would be interested in a Faith Trail, contact the Open Centre direct for details, www. derbyopencentre.org; contact@derbyopencentre.org.
