Derek the Playground Dinosaur Is Getting a Makeover
A giant concrete dinosaur called Derek has stood in a Derbyshire playground for almost fifty years. Now the charity that built him in 1977 wants to fix him up and give him a fresh coat of paint. Local kids will help decide what Derek looks like next — and people are sharing their memories of climbing on him.
