Hi my name is Christopher Harris (Chris to my friends). I found Wikipedia through a link someone had placed from here to my website about Derby Arboretum and I have become "hooked".
I suppose I have now earned myself the title of "Amateur Historian" through my research work on the Arboretum and surrounding area.
I have a great deal of interest in my home town of Derby, and a life-long fascination and fondness of the Arboretum.
I lived next to Markeaton Park for fourteen years of my life, up until the age of 26, and have an interest in the area's history. My research is now extending to other areas of Derby and I will be following the Derby related pages with great interest. I will also be making contributions to the history pages where possible.
Like all amateur historians, I am by no means perfect, and am likely to make mistakes or miss something in my research work. I welcome comments and corrections to my research work where required. Wikipedia is the ideal forum for sharing and improving our knowledge.
