Heanor is a town in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire in the East Midlands of England. It lies 8 miles north-east of Derby. Together with the adjacent village of Loscoe it forms the civil parish and town council-administered area of Heanor and Loscoe, which in the 2011 census had a population of 17,251.
Heanor Market Place was developed in the 1890s, following the break-up of the Heanor Hall estate by the Miller Mundy family of nearby Shipley Hall (the Market Place site had been part of Heanor Hall Park). Until this development the main focus of market trading activity had been at Tag Hill.
Since 1984 Heanor has had three tiers of local government: Derbyshire County Council at the county level (the top tier), Amber Valley Borough Council at the district level (the middle tier), and Heanor and Loscoe Town Council at the parish level (the bottom tier). Heanor falls into two single-member electoral divisions of the County Council, Greater Heanor and Heanor Central.
Heanor and Loscoe civil parish includes all of Heanor town except Heanor Gate Science College and a few surrounding streets on the western edge of town (near the road to Smalley), Heanor Gate Industrial Estate to the south west, and a small area of houses on the town's southeasterly fringe, near the main road to Ilkeston. The college and surrounding streets, plus half the industrial estate, are within Smalley civil parish; the other areas are within the civil parish of Shipley.
Shipley Country Park, a steep wooded knoll bordering the south and west of the town, has its own riding school and three lakes surrounding it. It consists of most of the former estate of the Miller-Mundy family who lived until the 1920s at Shipley Hall (demolished in the 1940s). It was then sold for intensive open-pit mining: open-cast and deep-seam mining by what became the National Coal Board, before being restored and handed to the county council in the 1970s.
The nearest station is at Langley Mill two miles away, which has services to Nottingham, Sheffield and beyond. Formerly the Midland Railway had a line between Shipley Gate and Butterley that passed through Heanor (closed to passengers in 1926), and the Great Northern Railway had a branch line which terminated in a goods yard and small station in Heanor (closed in 1928, though temporarily revived in 1939).
Bus routes link Heanor with larger towns in the area such as Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield. Major bus operators serving Heanor include Trent Barton and Yourbus The nearest international airport is East Midlands Airport, south of Derby.

Top 5 Reasons NOT to Move to Derby
The reasons you should know moving to Derby and why living
in derby & derbyshire will make your life worse than Birmingham.
Derby and Derbyshire were among the centres of Britain's Industrial Revolution. In 1717, Derby was the site of the first water-powered silk mill in Britain. Derby has a green belt area defined to the north and east of the city, first drawn up in the 1950s, to prevent convergence with the surrounding towns and villages. Derby's climate is classified as warm and temperate. The rainfall in Derby is significant, with precipitation even during the driest month.

Shipley is a town and commuter-suburb in the Metropolitan District of the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, north of Bradford. Before 1974 Shipley was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The town forms a continuous urban area with Bradford.
Shipley is located at an important crossing of the River Aire, where the route from Otley to Bradford crosses the route from Skipton to Leeds. It is sheltered by the millstone crags of Wrose and Windhill to the east, and to the north by Baildon and Hawksworth Moors. Development in Shipley grew upwards and outwards from the crossroads at Fox's Corner, named after the Fox and Hounds public house that once stood there.
The village of Saltaire located in Shipley is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site incorporating the Victorian era Salts Mill and associated residential district. Located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal the model village was planned by industrialist Sir Titus Salt as a processing facility for alpaca woollen cloth and as residential accommodation for his workforce. Salts Mill is no longer used for textile production, but now contains the 1853 Gallery, housing many works by the artist David Hockney, a variety of shops, restaurants and local businesses, including Pace Micro Technology. Salts Mill is accessed via the nearby Saltaire railway station and together with the stone built terraced houses, ornate Victorian era civic buildings and Roberts Park, draws significant numbers of tourists to the area.
To the north across the River Aire, is Shipley Glen ( glen refers to the little valley beneath a ridge). It has long been a popular beauty spot, and in 1895 the Shipley Glen Tramway was built to carry visitors up to the top. The tramway has weathered periods of neglect and closure, but in 2012 it ran most weekends through the summer, staffed by volunteers.
The Bradford to Bingley Road was constructed in the 1820s and with Otley Road and Saltaire Road form a triangle framing Shipley centre. They connect the town to Bradford, Leeds and the Airedale towns. There is a small bus station in Shipley Market Place. Shipley railway station has an unusual triangular layout, serving trains on the Skipton to Leeds line, the Leeds to Bradford Forster Square line, and the Bradford to Skipton/Ilkley lines. Saltaire railway station, opened in 1984 on the Setttle-Carlisle Line, serves the heritage village of Saltaire. Long-distance trains run south to London King's Cross and north to Carlisle, while local trains connect the town with Leeds, Bradford and Skipton.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal was once an important navigation linking Shipley to the wider world. The Skipton to Shipley section was completed in 1773 and in 1774 a branch was extended to Bradford. Wharves were established on the north side of Briggate. The Bradford branch was filled in during the 1920s. The canal is used for pleasure cruising. Trams ran along Bradford Road to the south and Saltaire Road to the north and between Baildon Bridge and the Branch.

Ripley Town Centre - VIDEO TOUR (Ripley, Derbyshire, UK)
We decided to visit Ripley Saturday Carboot, then decided to stop by the town afterwards to have a look. This video was taken on a Saturday afternoon.
Ripley is a town in the Amber Valley borough of Derbyshire, England.
What’s going for it?
A study by University College London a decade ago found that Ripley, smack bang in the middle of the country, had the highest proportion of residents with English ethnic origins – 88.6% – with its neighbour Heanor not far behind. What makes the Amber valley, wedged between Derby and Nottingham, such a hotbed of Englishness is a bit of a mystery, but don’t come expecting ye olde Morris dancers and chocolate box mead drinkers. This is the kind of quintessential England not found in tourist brochures. Think instead of redbrick terraces, suburban piles with pillars and electric gates, smashing chippies, 1920s semis, the odd tearoom, a Premier Inn, Lidl, Wilko and Wetherspoons, and a Friday night out that’s a sight to behold. This is not Downton Abbey (though Newstead Abbey isn’t far away). Ripley is ordinary England, in the best sense of the word.
Well connected?
Trains: the nearest station is 10 minutes away at Alfreton: half-hourly to Sheffield (30 mins), or Nottingham (20-30 mins). Driving: 15 mins to the M1, half an hour to the Peak District, Nottingham and Derby.
Anna Telling “It’s an affordable place to live, with great access to the Peak District’s beautiful, wild scenery. Worst things: social/economical problems due to unemployment and poor opportunities.”
Nigel Hunt “It has always had a rough reputation. But it’s friendly, except on a Friday night when it’s best to keep your children away from the centre.”

A walk in Shipley Country Park in early March 2020
A short walk but with lots of interest as the path follows along part of an old railway route connecting to the Great Norther Railway. Shipley park is situated near to Ilkeston and Heanor in Derbyshire. The park has much to offer including a trim-track and two tea rooms.
Ilkeston Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Derbyshire, and around nine miles northeast of Derby, is the town of Ilkeston.
Geographically Ilkeston is situated on one of the last hills at the southern end of the Pennines. It forms part of the Borough of Erewash, named after the River Erewash which runs just to the east of the town centre. It is believed to have been founded in the 6th century AD, whose name comes from its founder Elch or Elcha (the 'ton' suffix just means town).
Ilkeston's town centre is around 360 feet above sea level. At its heart is St Mary's Church, which was founded in 1150, although much of the present building is significantly younger. In 1252 Ilkeston was granted a market charter by Henry III.
In 1779 the Erewash Canal opened. This was followed, in 1793, by the Nutbrook Canal. These waterways transformed Ilkeston from a small market town into a thriving industrial hub. Coal could now be transported from the local coal fields to the River Trent, and then further afield. Other products carried included pottery, textiles and iron.
In the 19th century natural mineral waters were discovered in Ilkeston. In the early 1830s a bathhouse was opened at the bottom of Town Street, which was later renamed to Bath Street (seen throughout the second half of the video). This was a popular tourist attraction for over 60 years. The bathhouse was eventually demolished in 1899. This was attributed to a combination of general decline in the popularity of spa bathing, and alleged contamination of the waters from mining activities.
Ilkeston received its first railway connection in 1847 with the opening of Ilkeston Junction. This was followed by Ilkeston Town in the same year and Ilkeston North in 1878. By 1967, however, all three stations had closed. For fifty years the town was one of the biggest in the UK to be without a railway station. This was rectified in 2017 with the opening of the current station on the line between Nottingham and Leeds.
Throughout the 19th and 20th century Ilkeston was a significant producer of coal, iron, lace and textiles. Although most of the large-scale indstries that contributed to the social and economic development of the town have gone, their presence is still reflected to some extent in the architecture.

Derbyshire Disused Railway - Butterley, Ripley, Heanor, Langley Mill
Derbyshire Disused Railway - The lost Midland Railway between Butterley, Ripley, Heanor, Langley Mill.
We start this latest disused railway explore at the Butterley Midland Railway Centre. A preserved line between Pye Bridge and Butterley. At the end of the line is the halt of Hammersmith, alongside the former Butterley Junction where the line to Ambergate left the line we are looking at today.
leaving behind the preserved line, we take a left turn over what was the old viaduct above the yard of Pentrich Colliery. This viaduct remained in some form until the construction of the A38 trunk road.
We head towards Ripley, where we pass under various bridges on the Ripley Greenway cycle path. In Ripley we see the cutting where the former Ripley Station was located. Now long gone and little evidence other than retaning walls.
Continuing along the Ripley Greenway, we pass the old Ripley Colliery site on the left before our line takes a fork. The right towards Marehay Junction, Denby and Derby. To the left towards Heanor and Langley Mill.
The line has been reprofiled and eaten by development, however we can pick up the tracked near the old Waingroves Colliery and the story of an arch bridge, that is now a steel bridge. The Waingroves Colliery private line can also be explored, although resembles more of a nature trail these days.
Along the old line was Cross Hill and Codnor Station, which is long gone. The old station at Heanor is a similar tale, lost forever. However at Loscoe Dam we can see a few fine examples of bridge abutments in classic Midland Railway style.
We finish on the outskirts of Langley Mill, where the line joined with the Erewash Valley line and a former platform at Langley Mill station. A few more old bridges constructed by the Butterley Company can be seen.

Places to see in ( Cromford - UK )
Cromford is a village and civil parish, two miles to the south of Matlock in the Derbyshire Dales district in Derbyshire, England. The population at the 2011 Census was 1,433. It is principally known for its historical connection with Richard Arkwright, and the nearby Cromford Mill which he built outside of the village in 1771. Cromford is in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site.
The River Derwent, with its sources on Bleaklow in the Dark Peak, flows southward to Derby and then to the River Trent. The geology of this section in the Derbyshire Dales is that of limestone. The fast flowing river has cut a deep valley. The A6 trunk road, which was the main road between London and Manchester in former times; the Cromford Canal and the Derwent Valley Line, linking Derby and Matlock, were all built in the river valley. The Via Gellia dry valley joins the Derwent at Cromford.
The A6 passes to the north of the village of Cromford; its land rises from 80m to 150m above mean sea level. It is 27 km north of Derby, 3 km south of Matlock and 1 km south of Matlock Bath. Trains operate from Cromford Station, on the north bank of the Derwent to Derby and Nottingham.
The Cromford Mill (1771) buildings and accommodation for workers to staff the factories form part of the Derwent Valley Mills, which is recognised as a World Heritage Site for its importance. North Street, constructed by Arkwright is important as a very early purpose built industrial workers housing and was rescued from dereliction in the 1970s by the Ancient Monument Society who have since sold off the houses. One house in the street is now a Landmark Trust holiday cottage. Masson Mill (1783) is on the northern fringe of the village.
Willersley Castle dominates hill on the east side of the river, with commanding views of Masson Mill, the village, and the road from Derby. Commissioned by Richard Arkwright, building work began in 1790, but was delayed by a fire in 1791. Richard Arkwright died in 1792, and the building was occupied by his son Richard in 1796. The Arkwright family moved out in 1922, and the building was acquired by some Methodist businessmen, and opened to guests as a Methodist Guild hotel in 1928. During World War II, the building was used as a maternity hospital by the Salvation Army while evacuated from their hospital in the East End of London. St Mary's Church, Cromford built between 1792 and 1797 by Richard Arkwright.
The Cromford Canal – built to service the mills – is now in disuse, but has been designated a Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI). The canal tow path can be followed from Cromford Wharf to High Peak Junction, and on to Whatstandwell and Ambergate. The Cromford and High Peak Railway, completed in 1831, ran from High Peak Junction to the Peak Forest Canal at Whaley Bridge. Its track bed now forms the High Peak Trail, a walk and cycle route which is joined by the Tissington Trail at Parsley Hay.

Ripley is a village in Surrey, England. The village has existed since Norman times – the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalen shows construction of circa 1160 there and supporting feet of fines and ecclesiastical records mention the village at the time. Ripley's sister village of Send to the south-west was the governing parish over the village for over 700 years until 1878 when they became two separate ecclesiastical parishes; they became separate civil parishes in 1933.
Lying on the main road from London to Portsmouth (from the 1930s referred to as the A3), Ripley was the post town for the whole area (including Woking) from 1813 to 1865. With the coming of the railway to what was then Woking Common in 1838, Ripley's importance diminished, and Woking became its post town in 1865. As motor traffic increased during the 1960s and the 1970s, the Portsmouth Road at Ripley became a notorious bottleneck, relieved by the building of the Ripley bypass in 1976. The A3 was renamed the B2215, and what has always been a major trunk road was expanded into six lanes north of Guildford, bypassing Send and Ripley.
The distance is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the M25 motorway. It is centred 6.2 miles (10.0 km) southeast of Woking, 6.8 miles (10.9 km) northeast of Guildford and 22.5 mi (36.2 km) southwest of London. Neighbouring villages Send and Send Marsh to the South-West and Ockham to the East have fewer shopping facilities.
The village church, St Mary Magdalen has a fine Norman chancel and is a Grade II* listed building (the second highest of the three categories). Among the more than 20 listed buildings and cottages in the village are Pinnocks Café the building the 'Ship Inn and Ye Old Sweet Shoppe', J Hartley Antiques, Sage Antiques (Green Cottage) and Clock House and Cellar Wines – Artisan Spirits, Boutique Wines, Delicatessen & Events (The Old Cellar) The building that Cellar Wines is located in, is a historical place of interest with a Blue Plaque located outside for the production of penicillin for the first time in the UK (possibly the world) for civilian use by Kennith White in 1944. Cedar House Gallery, in another listed building, Cedar House often has exhibitions and stocks predominantly watercolour and oil landscapes.
The village includes a coaching inn, The Talbot Hotel, which dates back to 1453, as well as Drake's restaurant, which has been awarded a Michelin star and 3 AA rosettes. The village high street includes a small supermarket, cobblers and bakery. Aside from the Talbot Hotel/Inn there is the Jovial Sailor as a further larger than average, food-serving public house. Two other pubs in the village are The Anchor and The Half Moon.

BREADSALL: Erewash Parish #2 of 14
This is a picturesque old village surrounded by woodland with a population of 773, with a wonderfully active community with an array of social clubs, as well as access to something called the Greenway and network of paths for both walking and cycling
The village nowadays is relatively peaceful and only gets busy during some rush hour periods when drivers use the village as a thoroughfare to the northern tip of nearby Oakwood, and further afield, to areas including Hilltop, Morley, West Hallam, Heanor and Ilkeston.
The Harpur-Crewe’s were the estate holders here, it being founded in the early 1500s by Richard Harpur who was a solicitor in London. Henry Harpur was one of his ancestors, and he would marry Lady Jane Crewe, thus becoming Henry Harpur-Crewe. The botanist Joseph Whittaker was born here in 1815[9]
The village is a very popular location for retired people who want to live comfortably in their later years, while still in reach of Derby city centre. The physician Erasmus Darwin is buried here. One of the key thinkers of the Midlands Enlightenment, he was also a natural philosopher, physiologist, slave-trade abolitionist, inventor and poet.
All around the village you will find a number of these small green areas, known as “triangles”, and they make it pretty obvious you’re in BREADSALL.

Belper is a town and civil parish in the local government district of Amber Valley in Derbyshire, England, located about 7 miles north of Derby on the River Derwent. As well as Belper itself, the parish also includes the village of Milford and the hamlets of Bargate, Blackbrook and Makeney.
Belper expanded during the early Industrial Revolution to become one of the first mill towns with the establishment of several textile mills; as such, it forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Belper's economy was traditionally reliant on manufacturing industry and numerous goods were made in the town. Cotton spinning and textile production were major employers virtually for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The large East Mill and the smaller North Mill are now all that remain of the industry and are preserved as part of the Derwent Valley Mills world heritage site.
The A6 is the major through-road of the town of Belper and runs parallel to the River Derwent to the west. Belper railway station is situated on the Midland Main Line. Regular trains between Derby and Matlock on the Derwent Valley Line are almost the only services to stop there.
The construction of the North Midland Railway in 1840 brought further prosperity. Belper was the first place in the UK to get gas lighting, at a works erected by the Strutts at Milford. Demand was such that in 1850, the Belper Gas and Coke Company was formed, with a works in the present Goods Road. Electricity followed in 1922 from the Derby and Nottingham Electrical Power Company's works at Spondon.

SHIPLEY: Amber Valley Parish #25 of 35
AMBER VALLEY PARISH #25: SHIPLEY
Shipley – “Sheep Clearing”
Amber Valley returns to your screens with a village that sits between the town of Heanor, and its near neighbour Ilkeston, over the border in Erewash. That village would be Shipley. Its often considered to be something of a Southern extension of Heanor, but trust me, Shipley has its own identity - and how. Like so many other villages in this part of Derbyshire, coal mining was the main economic activity.
The pits were owned by the Miller-Mundy family, who owned and occupied the one grand mansion - Shipley Hall – which has now been reduced to just its former footprint. That’s still very much visitable though, as is the enormous Shipley Country Park – created after mining ceased. Somewhat ironically, it was coal mining that would ultimately be the hall’s downfall. Remnants of the former pits still stand and nowadays the colliery land has been redeveloped into housing.
In the intervening period, however Shipley became a popular location for another reason. Between 1985 and 2007, thousands of thrill seekers looking for a white knuckle ride descended upon this part of Derbyshire. To the untrained eye, Shipley would just be one of those places you pass through to get to somewhere else, but its well worthy of a walk around.

PEAK DISTRICT ATTRACTIONS | Peak District Dovedale & Ilam
Peak District attractions including Dovedale stepping stones, Thorpe Cloud, YHA Ilam or Ilam hall as it’s also known, and Thor’s Cave.
We decided to visit the Peak District national park a few weeks before I had to leave for pantomime rehearsals as I would be away for most of the winter. Emma had stayed in the gorgeous Ilam hall the week before so she recommended we take a break from wild camping and stop over in the YHA for the night.
The day we arrived we set off from the hostel towards the river Dove to find the Dovedale stepping stones, these were set in a gorgeous valley and we enjoyed the walk even though it was far too touristy for my liking. After we climbed Thorpe Cloud and enjoyed some wonderful views.
This Peak District walk then looped round so we could check out some of the Dovedale caves on the way back to Ilam hall. I managed to get my drone up a few times throughout the day inbetween the patches of rain.
Peak District in autumn is very pretty with all the colours of the leaves. After a lovely stay in the Ilam YHA we set off the following day to Wetton to explore Thor’s cave. We parked up at the wetton mill and only had a short climb upto the cave entrance from there.
Just a quick warning, the caves were all extremely slippery after the wet weather!
Also included in this video is footage of my first drone crash and a cheeky shot of Emma’s bum ???????????? its only quick so you have to be watching carefully or you’ll miss it
We hope you enjoyed this video, please don’t forget to give it a like.. and if you haven’t already, subscribe to my channel:

KIMBERLEY: Broxtowe Parish #3 of 10
BROXTOWE PARISH #3: KIMBERLEY
Welcome to Kimberley, one of the towns of Broxtowe, located on the Western fringes of the City of Nottingham. Like many of the other towns and villages in the area much of the history of the town is tied up with the mining and lace industries aided and abetted by the coming of the railways. Its history goes back much further than that though.
It was recorded in the Domesday Book as “Chinemarelie”, and the main landholder at that time was William Peverell who owned large swathes of land in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Over the years Kimberley has expanded to merge almost imperceptibly into neighbouring towns and villages to form a continuous urban landscape from Nottingham to Heanor, encompassing the towns of the Erewash Valley.
Kimberley’s landmarks are plentiful. For a start, look no further than the war memorial, easily the most recognisable structure in the town and a depiction of it used as the logo of the town’s main school. Then there’s a 100 foot high water tower built to supply Nottingham with drinking water from the Derwent Valley. It also has some railway history including two old stations. What really sells this one though would be the buildings of the former Hardy and Hanson’s Brewery. After all its the business which made Kimberley famous.
There’s lots of hills in this one as well. Kimberley definitely ain’t flat! Let’s go!

Wheelchair & Accessible Walks Shipley Park, near Heanor, Derbyshire. Happy Xmas & New Year everyone!
We really had a really lovely day out at Shipley park and there is so much space to explore. It is home to some lovely buildings, plenty of wildlife and the terrain keeps changing as you go around.
This walk can be as long or as short as you would like and there are areas you can access, without the need for hiring the Tramper.
If however, you would like to explore further, then I would highly recommend hiring a tramper. We managed to explore only a small part of the park and will definitely be back to see more. Be sure to check out the Access for all schemes run by Derbyshire County Council to find out how to join!
Access here has been well thought out and the staff are really helpful and made us feel welcome. Shipley Park has a fantastic gift shop, lots of information and a cafe at the visitors center, as well as the lovely cafe near to the site of Shipley Hall.
We have set up a Jet rating system, which we will be using next year to rate our adventures. We give Shipley Park 9 out of 10 Jet rating. Great parking, great facilities, good access, and plenty of disabled facilities. We dropped them by one point as we could not access some of the grass areas due to the wooden barriers.
We really hope you all have a lovely Christmas and New year, whether you are spending some time alone watching Christmas telly, or getting together with friends or family, we hope you all have a great holiday and we will see you in the new year with plenty more Wheelchair and Accessible Adventures.
