Improving Derby
The Octavius Popebury Memorial Expedition of 1886 has undertaken the improvement of Derby by accurately mapping the town and establishing fine new structures to replace the bare and battered huts of the past. Our servants roam the town, at our express instruction, improving the appearance of each building. We have founded a church, clubhouse and botanical gardens. We have improved a great many buildings, including the asylum and the library amongst others. The Expedition also erected a fine seashore memorial to those lost in the defence of the Royal Colony of Derby.
