Residents say they are shocked and worried after a car collided with a pedestrian in Derby this afternoon. The incident happened along Burton Road at 12.55pm. Police have said the incident is not a hit and run, and that the driver stopped at the scene. They would not comment on the condition of the pedestrian. Winston Ball, 52, who lives off Burton Road, said: "When I got to the corner of my street I saw all of the police and I was very worried and surprised. This is not a regular occurrence. "It's a busy road because people come in and out of town here. It's a horrible thing to happen." Philip Knapton, 30, of Abbey Street, was walking near Burton Road when he saw the police at the scene. He said: "A friend told me about the road closure and what had happened. It's very bad and I'm very worried." Luke Finnegan, 34, lives on Burton Road and said he can not get into his home because of the police cordon. He said: "I think I will be here for hours not able to get in if it is a serious accident, and it does look serious. "I have only been here a month, I can't believe it. It is a busy road. "I just hope the person involved does not live in my flats, that would be terrible. I hope everybody who has been involved is safe and OK. "I'm not bothered about not being able to get into my home, I just hope nobody is badly hurt."

ALFRETON Town face a replay in the FA Cup after Karl Hawley's second half equaliser in their clash against Lincoln City at the Impact Arena.

The visitors took an early lead from the penalty spot. Marcus Marshall was tripped in the area and Sean Newton coolly slotted home the spot-kick.

Nicky Law's side were much better after the break, though, and levelled in the 64th minute when Dan Bradley found Hawley in space and he made no mistake.

The two sides will replay at Sincil Bank on Tuesday night.

Law said: "We showed courage during the second half and we were the better footballing side. We go again on Tuesday.

"The injuries will have a big affect on us. We're going to be down to the bare bones.

"They'll be favourites for the replay but we'll do the best we can."

In the Evo-Stik Premier Division, Che Adams scored twice as Ilkeston beat Ashton United 2-0 while there was a welcome win for Belper Town. They beat Curzon Ashton 2-0.

Matlock were beaten 2-1 at Workington. Danny Holland scored the Gladiators' consolation from the penalty spot, while in the Evo-Stik Division One (South), Mickleover Sports defeated Stafford Rangers 2-0 with strikes from Karl Demidh and Jacob Hazel.

Eric Graves and Jack Langstone got the goals for Gresley as they beat Goole 2-0.

Meanwhile, Heanor Town were 2-1 winners over Bridlington in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.

Danny Booth put the Lions ahead, Craig Hogg equalized before Gary Ricketts got a late winner.

And in the East Midlands Counties League, Shane Hewton got both goals as South Normanton drew 2-2 with Holwell Sports.

BURTON Albion went down 1-0 at Stevenage as Ian Sharps' late unfortunate own goal gave Boro the win.

The Brewers had edged much of the game at the Lamex Stadium, but were undone with six minutes left as Charlie Adams' cross took a horrible deflection off Ian Sharps and flew past Jon McLaughlin.

It was hard luck on Albion after a determined performance and they drop a place to third in the League Two table.

LETTER: Why did Derby residents have to act against crime?

WELL done to the residents of Carlisle Avenue, Littleover: "Victory for crime-hit avenue that was at the mercy of yobs" (October 15).

However, what struck me is that residents were forced to act themselves rather than the police initially taking action.

Should residents be put in the position of forming their own group to tackle these issues – issues that the police should be dealing with?

It would be interesting to understand the background to the statements "relationships with the community and the police had seriously broken down" and "serious lack of support from the police".

Unfortunately, it seems an altogether consistent trend of the police not actually undertaking the responsibilities they are paid for and no doubt they will defend their position and state that it is due to the financial cutbacks. As usual, though, the ordinary people suffer.

STRICTLY COME DANCING: Who does Tim Wonnacott predict to do well?

TIM Wonnacott's predictions for Strictly Come Dancing:

"It is impossible to say who will win – I think the competition is wide open.

"Pixie Lott is sweet and has been dancing since she was three, so she can dance pretty well.

"Her dance partner, Trent, is a particularly strong dancer and, as he is new to the show, he is taking it with a fresh approach. He is very, very keen and I think he will take Pixie to a special place in the competition.

"But saying that, The Saturdays are big, so Frankie could just crack it. She is also a very nice dancer.

"Caroline Flack, however, is less of a dancer, but she doesn't half shift around!"

Tim said EastEnders star Jake Wood was also a possible contender for the big prize.

He said: "Nobody rated Jake as a dancer at the beginning but he is shining! He is getting on very well.

"And Simon Webb, is also a very good dancer.

"He was in the bottom two, though, one week. Someone you think will be in the top five could see themselves going. It just shows how the voting can work."

Tim said he hoped to take part in the Christmas Strictly Come Dancing Special but was unsure whether he would be taking part in the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour.

Derby Telegraph readers have backed plans for flyovers at Little Eaton, Kingsway and Markeaton. Plans for a flyover at Markeaton have been known for years, but it is understood that as part of the Highways Agency's planning process, it is looking at flyovers at Kingsway and Little Eaton too. Sue Bott took to the Telegraph's Facebook page to say: "My dad help build the eagle centre many years ago said then that a fly over is needed at Markeaton roundabout." Dave Robinson said: Why has the obvious taken so long ? Nottingham has had flyovers for 30 and more years, how many millions/billions of man hours have been spent by drivers queuing at these three islands over the years, not even thinking about the pollution." derbylover said: "Just get the dam things built."

WOLVERHAMPTON Wanderers closed the gap on the chasing pack at the top of the Championship with a 2-1 defeat of Leeds United at Elland Road.

They had to come from behind against Leeds, who are still looking for a first win under Darko Milanic.

Mirco Antenucci's crisp shot from just inside the box gave Leeds the lead in the first half.

Wolves equalised when Giuseppe Bellusci failed to control in the box and winger James Henry finished from close range.

Both sides pushed for a winner but Leon Clarke came off the bench to side-foot home from Matt Doherty's pass.

Watford are level on points with Derby County after a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough.

Troy Deeney came off the bench to rescue a point for Watford at Middlesbrough after Kike had given Boro the lead.

Boro, who slip to fifth in the Championship, dominated the first half with former Rams loaness Patrick Bamford forcing a fine early save from Jonathan Bond.

The hosts took the lead after the break with Kike finding the top corner, before Deeney levelled from six yards.

Watford also hit the post through Joel Ekstrand's header.

Managerless Birmingham City suffered a humiliating defeat as Bournemouth scored eight goals at St Andrew's.

Brett Pitman put the visitors ahead inside three minutes and Blues defender David Edgar was sent off shortly afterwards for a foul on Callum Wilson.

Wilson and Matt Ritchie made it 3-0 by half-time before the Cherries ran riot in the second period.

Marc Pugh netted a hat-trick and two more from Tokelo Rantie, the first a penalty, completed Birmingham's misery.

In addition, Paul Caddis had a spot-kick saved by Bournemouth goalkeeper Artur Boruc with the score at 3-0.

Danny Shittu scored on his first league start of the season as Millwall won for the first time in nine games against Cardiff City.

Ian Holloway's men had been desperate for a first victory since they beat Blackpool in August.

They sealed three points when Shittu rose at the back post to head in Shaun Williams's corner and move them into mid-table, two points behind Cardiff.

Bolton made it two wins from three games under Neil Lennon as second-half goals saw off Brentford's late threat.

After an even first half, Neil Danns smashed a low 30-yard shot past goalkeeper David Button into the bottom corner to open the scoring.

Substitute Mark Davies doubled the lead, weaving his way past the defence before calmly finishing past Button.

Jon Toral pulled a goal back for the Bees but Craig Davies sealed the points on the break in injury-time.

Brighton drew 1-1 with Rotherham United while Ipswich Town and Huddersfield drew 2-2.

Nottingham Forest were beaten 3-1 by visitors Blackburn Rovers and there was a good win for Reading, who were 3-0 winners over visitors Blackpool.

Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City drew 0-0.

DERBY County head coach Steve McClaren admitted Wigan Athletic deserved their 2-1 win at the iPro Stadium.
The Rams' 12-match unbeaten run was ended by the Latics on Saturday, despite going ahead through John Eustace.
Substitute James McClean netted twice after the break as Derby suffered their first home defeat since March.
"We didn't get going and Wigan came with a game plan and in the end they deserved to win," said McClaren.
"We have no qualms about the result and you don't get a result if you put in performances like that.
"I'm not so much angry about the result as the way we played. Credit to Wigan, they stopped us playing and I think we were too focused on the result rather than putting in a performance, we never played with freedom we normally do.
"It's a big lesson because when you get up there you have to perform every week, you can't have an off day and we had an off day. In the end we got exactly what we deserved, we've got no excuses today. What hurts is not losing, it's the manner in which we did."

A SMALL book for children dating to the time of the reign of King Charles II and bound only seven years after the Great Fire of London of 1666 was a highlight in this week's Antique and Collectors Auction.

It was a remarkable find discovered in a house in Mickleover. Printed in 1672, the book, in its original binding, is titled A Token for Children, An Exact Account of the Conversion, Holy and Exemplary Loves and Joyful Deaths of Several Young Children.

By author James Janeway, the small book is a collection of personal accounts of the conversions of a number of children under his pastoral care.

Children in the 17th century had a hard life and Janeway at the start of the book asks the question, "Are the souls of your children of no value? They are not too little to die... not too little to go to hell.. not too little to serve their great Master, not too little to go to heaven".

The book became the most widely read book in nurseries in the late 17th century next to the Bible.

For children of the late 17th century there was no cosy concept of childhood.

In poor families, where every mouth was an added burden, children were put to some sort of simple work as soon as possible; sometimes as young as three. There were also many small jobs around houses and fields to keep older children busy.

Both sexes picked stones from the fields and scared rooks with wooden rattles and all members of the family helped with the harvest.

In large families, the care of the smallest children was usually given to the oldest girl. A seven or eight-year-old might be found shepherding her small siblings about, humping the baby on her hip.

Such very young girls often bore the responsibility for the survival of toddlers, keeping them out of millponds, lakes and fires and saving them from being eaten by pigs (true), as in the case of Thomas Tomkins.

Children still had time to play. Boys, not having household duties like spinning, seemed to have an easier time of it altogether and "being boys" could go off playing one of the innumerable (and violent) games.

In the book are some remarkable comments. The author notes how "two sparrows were bought by one clever boy for a farthing" whilst the plague is commented on throughout.

Plague broke out in London in 1603, 1636 and in 1665. Each time it killed a significant part of the population but there were always plenty of poor people in the countryside willing to come and work in the town.

Seventeenth century towns were dirty and unsanitary. People threw dirty water and other rubbish in the streets. Furthermore, the streets were very narrow. At night they were dark and dangerous. For the poor, food remained plain and monotonous. They subsisted on food like bread, cheese and onions.

Ordinary people also ate pottage each day. This was a kind of stew. It was made by boiling grain in water to make a kind of porridge. Vegetables were added and, if you could afford it, pieces of meat or fish.

The book is very religious and each chapter takes examples of young children who had died. It is quite morbid and, as a youngster, I would not have enjoyed reading it!

LEEDS United owner Massimo Cellino has sacked manager Darko Milanic after only six games in charge.
Milanic was axed following Leeds' 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road on Saturday.
His predecessor David Hockaday was also relieved of his duties after six matches at the helm.
Neil Redfearn, who was caretaker manager when Hockaday left, is set to be appointed permanent manager on Monday.
Milanic's 32-day tenure was shorter than the infamous spell of Derby County legend Brian Clough, who spent 44 days at Leeds boss.
"I want to apologise to the supporters - they deserve better results," said Cellino, who fired 36 managers during 20 years with Italian side Cagliari.

WE'RE featuring the views of Derby beer enthusiasts here each week. Your contributions are welcome.

This week, Nick Campion, from Hilton, who is a writer, sometime motorcycle adventurer, cricketer and family man shares his favourite beers and places to drink them.

A BOTTLED BEER

Badger's Fursty Ferret manages to maintain a distinctive, rewarding flavour that the bottling process squeezes out of so many beers. Its fruity tones add sweet warmth rather than distracting bitterness. An amber ale of surprising full flavour at a drinkable 4.4%.

A DRAUGHT BEER 

Dancing Duck Abduction is a dangerously relaxed 5.5% which slips down with barely a hint at its potency.

The three letters I-P-A are pretty irresistible to me but not all are as good as this example, which is full of flavours delivered with a light touch.

A GREAT PUB

The Old Talbot at Hilton. Warm, convivial, welcoming... that's what you need from your village pub. Low, beamed ceilings in the lounge seal in the atmosphere, while you drink one of the regular ales – Landlord, Pedigree, London Pride, Doombar and more – or one of the many guest ales. Dining requirements are met by pork pie, crisps and nuts.

TOGSQUAD: Cool autumnal shots

THE days may be getting duller and darker but our camera club's creativity might just be getting that little bit brighter.

It's autumn and time to look around us to see what can inspire us to make images as the leaves fall and the temperature drops.

Tracey Bunce has made her bonkers conkers composition (1) in the grass with a TogsQuad theme and takes the title this week of our latest winning picture.

We love her idea with leaves, conkers and wood amongst the lawn.

Topping it off with making sure she has set it up in bright light and avoiding shadows makes this a truly eye-catching frame.

We are, of course, looking at seasonal snaps this time and bringing elements together in the frame that sum up the changing landscape all around us.

Sarah Stanton Longdon has homed in on two leaves in Milford for her focus on the warm colours as the days get cooler (2).

It is important that she has used a shallow depth of field by setting her camera to the lowest number on the aperture ring, to concentrate entirely on the shapes.

Stephen Davidson has found a stock of material to make his leafy family amongst the trees (3). He has cut the shapes to make the animated expressions into the vegetation and come up with a striking and fun shot.

Richard Miller has found a contrast between the golden leaves on the ground and the bold stripes of the circus big top in Derby and made it his simple seasonal image. (4)

The secret to this one looking so bold is the simplicity in the way Richard has kept his composition to include only a few main elements.

Way up above all the trees near the Hurt Arms at Ambergate we can see a hot air balloon highlighted against a backdrop of foliage. (5) Robin Macey is a member of the Nottingham and Derby Hot Air Balloon club (see facing page) which is why he was able to plan to get such a dramatic viewpoint.

Firmly anchored on the ground and amongst the morning mist is Terry James's cool image of the Spondon wind turbine in silhouette (6).

Terry really has brought so much colour and atmosphere to this one so his early morning alarm set to get out to grab this was well worth it!

What a wonderful collection of photographs to cheer up even the chilliest day.
