Derrick worked as a miner for 46 years, during which he was involved in one accident. As a face worker, he got caught in a roof fall and was brought home in an ambulance but there were no long-term issues and he soon recovered and returned to work.
He used to play practical jokes on the other workers. Derrick would turn off his miners' lamp and 'spook' his colleagues when they weren't looking during their meal breaks. After nearly 50 years in the mines, Derrick went to work with his son in an exhaust distribution business in Sheffield. He was based in the warehouse and would make deliveries to customers on his way back home to Chesterfield.
In 1946, Derrick met his wife Ivy when she was 21 at a dance hall in Chesterfield. Before he knew her name, he called Ivy '21'. The couple married at St Augustine's Church on March 24, 1951. On August 10, 1957, the pair became parents to their son, Paul.
