That's weird! The war memorial is still in the Market Place but it doesn't show in the 'now' photo

The church you can see in the 'then' pic was St Alkmund's, I think, later demolished

Well spotted!

"This is a view of a Derby's Market Place. This took two attempts to get right as I did not realise that the war memorial had been moved since photo A was taken. "
