Peniston Lamb was a resident of Melbourne Hall in the 18th Century and in 1770 he was created into a peer, he took the title of of Lord of Melbourne. His son, the second Lord Melbourne, became Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, and the Austrailian city of Melbourne was named after him!
How many people know that!
Another of Melbourne's claim to fame is Thomas Cook, born in Melbourne in 1808, famous for bringing cheap holiday travel to everyone. Thomas Cook was born in a cottage (now demolished) in Quick Close, at the top of High Street. Thomas Cook died in 1892, having established his company as the pioneer of popular travel.
Another resident was Rowland Mason Ordish (1824-1886), he was an engineer noted for his work on the single-span roof of London's St Pancras railway station and also our very own Derby Market Hall in 1866.

Andy's Driving videos around Derbyshire, UK : Are you an ex-pat of Derbyshire, feeling homesick? Or perhaps you just want a clear way of giving someone directions to a location in Derbyshire or just want to show people your village. Well in this video and the many others I have made, you will be able to take a virtual drive around the streets as though you were in the driving seat. I use a dash-mounted camera, Traffic lights and heavy traffic have been edited out.
*** This video IS real-time ***
The start of the video features gratuitous and unnecessary 3D video effects, just playing around with 3D track motion in Sony Vegas.

Thank you for our comments and excellent video, I only took one myself on fathers day for fun as we were nearby and my eldest son is living in Melbourne,Oz. I thought it would amuse him to see what I thought might be it's namesake. We had a chap come shaking his fist at us for turning in the road end, hence the comments about the locals, I think you have to be one to be welcomed by some! Every town has a few of those and I think they are compulsory in villages! :D Anyway, thanx for the link.
Thanks for video.. Bought some memories my time at Melbourne. I hope I didnt twist ur arm to film Melbourne as I requested couple of weeks ago! Thanks again! Top marks!
