00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03Police have issued an appeal for help finding a convict who has absconded from prison in
00:07Derbyshire and gone on the run. Rocky Taylor failed to return after leaving HMP Sudbury
00:13earlier this year. The 37-year-old was serving a seven-year prison sentence after being convicted
00:18of aggravated burglary and robbery. He is described as being white, five foot seven
00:23inches tall and of stocky build with green eyes and may now have a beard. Taylor had been wearing
00:29a blue long-sleeved top and white hat when he left prison and has scars on both his arms. He
00:34has links to a number of places across Derbyshire as well as Nottingham, Sheffield, Rotherham and
00:38York. Members of the public are asked not to approach Taylor if they see him but instead to
00:43contact police if they have any information about his whereabouts. A New York film crew visited
00:50Chesterfield this weekend to meet a former council worker who has set the record straight on one of
00:54the most famous album covers of the 1970s and secured a Derbyshire Drain cover's rightful place
01:00in rock music history. The makers of a new documentary on renowned American photographer
01:05Ethan Russell pitched up at Brampton Brewery this week to meet John Hurst, one of the few men alive
01:11who was able to pinpoint a location shot for the cover of the Who's 1971 multi-platinum
01:17classic Who's Next. Fans worldwide have long thought that the mysterious monolith around which
01:22the band posed was located somewhere in Durham but for the past few years John has been on a
01:27mission to spread the truth that the photograph was actually taken near Temple, Normanton.
01:32After being interviewed on camera at the brewery the filmmakers followed Ethan and John
01:36as they hiked to the location and exchanged memories of the site. With the film still in
01:41production John does not yet know when and where it will make it to the screen
01:45but he's hopeful that it will be distributed somewhere across the UK.
