Derbyshire Time news bulletin with editor Phil Bramley
Transcript
00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03Police are appealing for information after thieves stole an honesty box from a Derbyshire farm.
00:08The theft happened on Friday when offenders took an arcade change machine from a North Wingfield barn
00:12where customers leave money in exchange for food.
00:16The machine itself and has the words change in yellow lettering down the side.
00:20Police have now issued a CCTV photo of the machine being removed.
00:24The image shows the machine that the officers are trying to locate.
00:27It may have been dumped somewhere by the offenders and police are asking for the public's help in locating it.
00:32Have you seen the machine anywhere or did you see anything suspicious in William Thorpe Robe?
00:37A 41-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the offence
00:40but anyone with information is asked to contact Derbyshire Police.
00:45Staff doing a year-end clear-out at a Derbyshire secondary school
00:49were surprised to discover a dusty stack of Shakespeare books dating back to the 1940s
00:54and are now attempting to reunite them with the pupils who left their name in the covers way back when.
00:59English teachers at Highfields in Matlock were taking a long overdue deep clean
01:04when they came across a forgotten box with copies of Antonine Cleopatra.
01:08Head of department Claire Cooper said
01:10That sense of connection to the past
01:24and a reluctance to throw the books into a skip
01:27inspired Claire to join a Facebook group for former pupils of Earless Bailey Grammar School
01:31which served the town between 1924 and 1982
01:34in what is now the Derbyshire Record Office on New Street.
01:38She hoped to spark some old memories
01:39and potentially reunite the books with their original owners
01:42and the response has been even more rewarding than Claire imagined
01:45with family members and fellow students chipping in to help.
01:49For more details on the story
01:50and how to contact Claire if you're a former student who may remember these books
01:54see the full article on the Derbyshire Times website.
