These photographs show Buxton after the Boxing Day snowfall of 2014.

Snow fell across Buxton and parts of Derbyshire on Boxing Day 2014, making travel difficult. The original report described road closures as the snow fell.

In the original report, Leek-based photographer Anna Phillips was visiting family in Buxton when snow disrupted her journey home. Near midnight she went out with her partner, her parents’ dog and her camera.

This is what she captured:
