Introduction
1.1
This Settlement Hierarchy Study, 2016 provides up to date information about settlements in
North East Derbyshire District and the services and facilities they provide. One of the
primary aims of establishing a settlement hierarchy is to promote sustainable communities
by bringing housing, jobs and services closer together in an attempt to maintain and
promote the viability of local facilities and reduce the need to travel to services and facilities
elsewhere.
1.2
The main purpose of this study is to build up a picture of the District’s settlements and how
they function. By bringing together existing evidence from a range of sources, the study
aims to produce a baseline picture, which can be used to aid the identification of needs,
issues and opportunities within and affecting the District’s settlements, and to inform the
development of policies and proposals that will shape their future. A settlement hierarchy is
a way of grouping together those settlements that have similar characteristics, and helps to
determine what role settlements can play in addressing the future development needs of
the District.
1.3
The findings of this Study and the resultant settlement hierarchy will then be used as a
starting point to inform the Plan’s spatial strategy including the location of major
development across the District. It will be used alongside other evidence such as the Land
Availability Assessment (LAA) to ensure that the scale of new development proposed by
the new Local Plan is appropriate to the district’s settlements having regard to their
particular roles and functions.
1.4
Whilst the definition of a settlement hierarchy, the mapping of their physical ‘development
limits’ and the drafting of policies to manage development in and around them are all
functions of the local planning process, it is hoped that this study will provide a useful and
informative tool for all policy makers and decision makers involved in delivering services to
communities, both within the Council and beyond – including communities undertaking
Neighbourhood Plans.

Policy Context
2.1
In developing a settlement hierarchy for North East Derbyshire account must be taken of
the national policy context as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
2.2
The NPPF states that the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the
achievement of sustainable development by performing the following three roles:1
2.3
2.4

an economic role – contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive
economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places
and at the right time to support growth and innovation; and by identifying and
coordinating development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure;

a social role – supporting strong, vibrant and healthy communities, by providing the
supply of housing required to meet the needs of the present and future generations;
and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that
reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well being; and

an environmental role – contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built
and historic environment; and as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use
natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, and mitigate and adapt to
climate change including moving to a low carbon economy.
In pursuit of sustainable development the NPPF states that:

planning should actively manage patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of
public transport, walking and cycling, and focus significant development in locations
which are or can be made sustainable;2

authorities should recognise town centres as the heart of their communities and pursue
policies to support their viability and vitality, defining a network and hierarchy of centres
that is resilient to anticipated economic changes;3

plans and decisions should ensure developments that generate significant movement
are located where the need to travel will be minimised and the use of sustainable
transport modes will be maximised;4

key facilities such as primary schools and local shops should be located within walking
distance of most properties;5
This national policy context identifies the key points that need to be taken into account
when setting out a methodology to assess the existing sustainability of the District’s
settlements.

Scope and Methodology
3.1
This section of the Study sets out the scope of the assessment (i.e. those settlements that
have been the subject of detailed assessment) and the methodology used to carry out the
assessment.
Scope
3.2
The new Local Plan seeks to guide development to the most sustainable locations in the
District. The most sustainable locations are those which have the greatest concentrations of
shops, schools, leisure and employment which are easily accessible to the greatest number
of people. Consequently, the most sustainable locations will tend to be the largest
settlements.
3.3
Within North East Derbyshire, the largest settlement with a population of just over 21,000 is
the town of Dronfield located in the north of the district. It has the greatest concentration of
facilities and services, together with a significant number of jobs that far exceeds any other
settlement in the District. Dronfield also has very good levels of public transport accessibility
being the only settlement in the district with its own railway station.
3.4
The next largest settlement in the district is Clay Cross located in the south of the district
which has a population of 9,633. With the exception of Dronfield, it has almost twice as
many facilities and services than any other settlement in the District, and has the greatest
number of job opportunities within a number of important employment areas. Although the
town has no railway station it has like Dronfield very good overall levels of public transport
services.
3.5
Below these towns the settlements of Killamarsh and Eckington are the next largest
settlements which contain a level of service provision that far exceeds any of the other
district’s settlements. With the exception of Holmewood, which has higher numbers of job
opportunities due to the presence of the existing Holmewood Industrial Estate, both
Killamarsh and Eckington contain numbers of jobs that greatly exceed any of the other
district’s settlements.
3.6
Since 2005 and the adoption of the North East Derbyshire District Local Plan, the towns of
Clay Cross, Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh have long been recognised as having town
centres which play an important role in serving the day to day shopping and other
requirements of the local community and surrounding settlements. Over the years much
public and private sector investment has been directed to these centres and successful
efforts have been made to sustain and enhance their role as the district’s main shopping
and service centres.
3.7
Given the continued dominance of these four settlements and the role of their town centres,
it is not proposed that these settlements are assessed in any greater detail in the Study, but
rather that they be positioned at the top of the settlement hierarchy in the Local Plan.
3.8
For the purpose of the assessment, all other settlements with more than 20 dwellings have
been included, except for those settlements in the Green Belt which do not have a
Settlement Development Limit (SDL) as defined in the North East Derbyshire Local Plan
(2005). The Study therefore includes 46 settlements in Table 1:

3.9
The majority of these settlements were given a SDL in the 2005 North East Derbyshire
District Local Plan. However, some smaller settlements, such as Alton, Bolehill,
Brackenfield and Cock Alley were not. For the purposes of this assessment, an assumption
has therefore been made regarding the physical extent of the settlements which do not
currently have a SDL.
3.10
Smaller settlements such as Brockhurst, Mickley near Dronfield (which has a SDL in the
2005 Adopted Plan, but only has 7 dwellings) and Eastmoor to the north of the District,
along with approximately 20 other communities have not been included in this assessment
due either to their relatively small size and being located entirely within the Green Belt.
3.4
The settlement of Walton lies partially within North East Derbyshire District, with the north
and east of the settlement within Chesterfield Borough. In order to gather a wider picture of
services and facilities available, the settlement of Walton covered in the assessment
extends into the neighbouring authority area. Because Coal Aston is closely related to
Dronfield, with no obvious physical boundary between them, it has therefore been
considered as part of Dronfield.
3.5
Map 1 in Appendix A shows all the settlements covered by the Study. For completeness,
the location of the towns of Clay Cross, Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh are also
shown. A brief overview of the form and character of each settlement is also provided in
Appendix B.
3.6
It should be noted that the statistical data contained in this report stems from data sources
which do not always align with the settlement boundaries. In such cases the data has been
made to best fit settlements based upon on a judgement of the physical pattern of
development having regard to the delineation of Settlement Development Limits, and
known areas of existing uses. Each section in the Study explains which geographical area
the information relates to and the methodology used.
Methodology
3.7
Based on the policy context outlined in Section 2, it is considered the following sustainability
factors need to be taken into account when setting out a methodology to assess the
existing sustainability of the District’s settlements. These are:
6




the number of people already living in the settlement;
the provision of shops, services, and other community facilities in recognised town or
local centres or elsewhere within a settlement;
the availability of employment opportunities in a settlement; and
the availability of public transport services to and from a settlement.
3.8
The approach taken to each of these sustainability factors is set out below and detailed
more fully in Appendix C. The weighting given to each of the sustainability factors is 25% of
the settlement’s total sustainability score.
3.9
Data has been collected for the 46 settlements included in the Study and the headline
results are provided in Section 4 with more detail provided in the accompanying
Appendices.
Population
3.10
Population size has an important influence upon the functionality and role of a settlement.
The results from the surveys of the settlement role and functions within the District show
that the larger settlements offer the greatest number, range and type of community facilities
and services. This is because each type of facility or service requires a different threshold
of population to viably support it, with the more strategic facilities requiring the highest level
of population. This is also true of the level of employment, retail and public transport
provision that settlements can offer, as the subsequent analysis of these factors will show.
3.11
Whilst the population of a settlement in some ways can seem an arbitrary measure of
sustainability, scoring settlements by the size of their population does take account of
where large numbers of people live and as a result where residents start their journey to
work, shop, leisure facilities and other community facilities and services.
3.12
In addition, due to the way public services are planned which tends to be responsive to
market demands, the larger populated settlements often also have more of the journey
destinations too, such as shops, schools, doctor’s surgery’s, and other community facilities.
So, whilst the level of facilities and services is assessed separately, it is considered that the
larger a settlement’s population the greater the likelihood that journey’s both start and finish
within the same settlement.
3.13
Also the larger a settlement’s population the greater the likelihood that its population will
sustain existing shops and services and potentially support new ones. Finally, by using
population as an indicator it is possible to see how a settlement’s population size compares
with its level of facilities, so informing decisions about future growth.
3.14
Using the 2011 Census as a starting point, population data was obtained at the Output Area
level, the most detailed level for which population statistics are readily available.
Unfortunately, these output areas do not always align with settlement boundaries and often
include sparsely populated rural areas within the immediate vicinity. In such cases, a best fit
approach was used to assign the relevant output areas to individual settlements giving a
population figure per settlement as it was in 2011. Information from the mid-2015 population
estimates at Lower Super Output Area level was then obtained as this represents the most
up to data on population at the time of the Study. These estimates have been assigned to
each individual settlement based upon the apportionment used in the analysis of the 2011
population data.
3.15
Based on this approach and using the mid-2015 population estimates, the settlement with
the largest population has had its population divided into deciles and each settlement is
given a score relating to which decile its population falls within. The detailed scoring
7
methodology and the sources of information used in the assessment of population are
provided in Appendix C.
Services and Facilities
3.16
The provision of shops, services and other community facilities within a settlement is a
common factor when assessing a settlement’s sustainability credentials. This recognises
that shops and facilities such as schools and doctor’s surgeries are also major travel
generators. If such facilities are located close to where people live there is greater
opportunity for people to reduce journeys by car, and to undertake trips by other more
sustainable transport modes.
3.17
This approach reflects the emphasis in the NPPF that authorities should recognise town
centres as the heart of their communities and pursue policies to support their viability and
vitality. It also reflects national policy to support patterns of development which, where
reasonable to do so, facilitates the use of sustainable modes of transport.
3.18
Given the purpose of the Study is to assess the existing sustainability of the District’s
settlements, more points have been awarded to those facilities and services that it is judged
a community need to use more regularly. As a result, if a settlement offers that facility, so
meaning that people living there would not need to travel elsewhere to access that facility,
its overall sustainability score benefits.
3.19
It should be noted that whilst all of these facilities are beneficial, the Council considers that
settlements do not need to have all of the facilities to be considered a sustainable
settlement. However, as a general rule the more facilities the settlement has to offer the
higher its sustainability credentials.
3.20
Finally, it should also be noted that the assessment does not look at the quality of services
and facilities, their levels of usage or the relative ease of access to them by different modes
of transport.
3.21
The data used to assess the services and facilities for the different settlements around the
district was acquired from a number of different sources. The data was gathered using a
desk based exercise using primarily the internet along with site visits. Whilst every effort
has been made to check the data the Study is at a point in time. Once the data was
acquired the services and facilities were assigned a point score of 1, 3 or 5 points
depending on the necessity and importance of each individual service and facility. The
points given to each service and facility was then added together to give a total score for
each individual settlement. The Study has assessed a wide range of services and facilities
including schools, health centres, shops, pubs and community halls.
3.22
Based on this approach, the settlement with the highest level of facilities and services has
had its total score divided into deciles and each settlement’s score is adjusted on the basis
of which decile its level of facilities and services fall within. The detailed scoring
methodology and the sources of information used in the assessment of facilities and
services are provided in Appendix C.
Employment
3.23
A common factor in determining a settlement’s sustainability ranking is the availability of job
opportunities, recognising that jobs are major travel generators. If jobs are located close to
where people live there is greater opportunity for people to reduce journeys by car, and to
undertake trips for work purposes by other more sustainable transport modes.
8
3.24
This approach fulfils the economic role as set out in the NPPF. It also reflects national
policy to support patterns of development which, where reasonable to do so, facilitates the
use of sustainable modes of transport.
3.25
The data used to assess the districts employment was taken from the 2015 Business
Register and Employment Survey (BRES) data. The BRES data is a definitive source of
employee statistics which provides estimates of jobs. The data provides information by
Census Lower Super Output Area which is rounded up or down to the nearest hundred.
Whilst the most detailed level for which employee statistics are available has been used
these areas does not easily align with settlement boundaries.
3.26
In view of this, the jobs estimates at LSOA level has been assigned to settlements based
on a judgement of known employment areas and utilising the Local Plan’s settlement
framework boundaries. This situation will involve some jobs in countryside locations being
attributed to a settlement, but it is considered that the number of instances where this
occurs is limited. The information provided by the 2015 BRES data for the district’s
settlements including any notes detailing judgements made regarding the apportionment of
jobs to settlements is set out in Appendix G.
3.27
In addition, due to the restrictions on how the BRES data is publicised in order to protect
individual company’s data, the data for the district’s smaller settlements, where it would be
possible to identify the number of employees at an individual company level, has been
published in this Study as being within a range.
3.28
Based on this approach, the settlement with the largest number of jobs has had its number
of jobs total divided into deciles and each settlement is given a score relating to the decile
its number of jobs falls within. The detailed scoring methodology and the sources of
information used in the assessment of employment are provided in Appendix C.
Public Transport Services
3.29
The availability of public transport services from a settlement is a common factor when
assessing a settlement’s sustainability ranking. This recognises that trains and buses offer
sustainable transport solutions that cut down on travel by the private car and transport
emissions as well as helping to reduce congestion.
3.30
This reflects the emphasis in the NPPF that authorities should actively manage patterns of
growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling.
3.31
Most of the settlements in the District rely on the bus as the primary mode of public
transport and existing services provide a useful indication of the level of public transport
provision. The data used to assess the public transport for settlements in the District has
been gathered from an analysis of bus timetables from the various bus operators as at
November 2016.
3.32
Each bus service serving the settlement has been given a point score of between 1 and 5
depending upon the frequency of service. The more frequent the service the higher the
points score is awarded. The points given to each bus service is then added together to
give a total score for each individual settlement. For the purposes of the Study, the level
and frequency of services has been assessed from Monday to Sunday from 08:00 to 18:00
inclusive.
3.33
Based on this approach, the settlement with the highest score for its public transport
services has had its score divided into deciles and each settlement is given a score
according to which decile it falls within. The detailed scoring methodology and the sources
of information used in the assessment of public transport are provided in Appendix C.

Results
4.1
This section of the Study sets out the results of the assessment using the approach set out
in Section 3.
Population
4.2
The 2011 Census records the population of North East Derbyshire as 99,023 on the 27th
March 2011. It is however four years out of date and therefore becoming slightly out of
date. Since the 2011 Census the Office for National Statistics has published population
projections which provide estimates of resident population.
4.3
The mid-2015 population estimates by settlement are set out in Appendix D.
4.4
Using the methodology set out in Section 3, the population for Wingerworth, as the largest
settlement included in the Study, is divided into deciles and each settlement is given a
score between 1 and 10 according to which decile its population falls within.

Table 2: Population per Settlement
4.6
As can be seen in Table 2 above, outside the main towns the District’s population is
concentrated in the settlements of Wingerworth, North Wingfield, Grassmoor, Tupton and
Holmewood, all of which have a population of more than 3,000. Below these settlements
are a number of other relatively large settlements with over 1,200 people. These include
Pilsley, Calow, Stonebroom, Renishaw, Holymoorside, Shirland, Morton and Lower Pilsley.
4.7
Elsewhere settlements are generally much smaller in size with over half of all the district’s
settlements having fewer than 600 population. Although the district’s settlements are evenly
spread throughout the District, there is some concentration of less populated settlements in
the western more rural part of the District.
Services and Facilities
4.8
For all the settlements in the District an audit of facilities was carried out in the autumn of
2016. The audit looked at a large array of different services and facilities and ranked them
and scored them accordingly. The findings of this audit are published in the table below.
4.9
The services and facilities by settlement are set out in Appendix E and F.

4.10
Using the methodology set out in Section 3, the services and facilities for North Wingfield,
as the most well provided for settlement included in the Study, is divided into deciles and
each settlement is given a score between 1 and 10 according to which decile its services
and facilities score falls within.

Table 3: Facilities and Services per Settlement
4.12
As can be seen in Table 3, outside the towns the settlement of North Wingfield has the top
points score of 140 for its facilities and services, with Tupton the second highest. Below this
level the settlements of Holmewood, Wingerworth, Grassmoor, Calow, Renishaw, and
Stonebroom all score relatively well in terms of the facilities and services they offer. This
appears to confirm that there is strong correlation between those settlements with a higher
range of services and those with higher population levels.
4.13
Elsewhere settlements are generally less well served by facilities and services which is
reflected by their relatively low scores. As can be seen above, over one third of all
settlements have very limited services and facilities with a points score of 1 or less. This
includes a number of settlements namely Fallgate, Littlemoor, Bolehill, Cock Alley and
Handley which have no facilities and services.
Employment
4.14
The availability of employment opportunities in a settlement is a common factor when
assessing a settlement’s sustainability ranking, recognising that jobs are a major journey
generator and that if these are located close to where people live there is greater chance
people can use more sustainable modes of transport to get to work.
4.15
The employment estimates by settlement are set out in Appendix G.
4.16
Using the methodology set out in Section 3, the employment for Holmewood, as the
settlement with the most employment included in the Study, is divided into deciles and each
settlement is given a score between 1 and 10 according to which decile its employment
opportunities falls within.

Table 4: Employment per Settlement
4.18
As can been seen in the table above, Holmewood is by far the settlement with the highest
number of employment opportunities. There is in fact a significant gap in terms of
employment opportunities between Holmewood and the next highest Wingerworth.
4.19
The majority of the settlements in the District have an employment range of between 0-300.
This is somewhat influenced by the high levels of jobs available at Holmewood which has
three of the largest existing industrial estates in the District. This is evident when taking into
account how Marsh Lane that has 300 jobs is scored the same as one of the settlements
that have 0-100 jobs. Therefore, the results of this factor should need be read in isolation,
but rather seen as one of the inputs into the sustainability of a settlement.
Public Transport
4.20
The availability of public transport services from a settlement has been identified as a key
sustainability factor. The following section outlines the findings of the study in regards to
public transport.
4.21
The public transport services by settlement are set out in Appendix H.
4.22
Using the methodology set out in section 3, the public transport services for North
Wingfield, as the settlement with the best level of public transport services in the Study, is
divided into deciles and each settlement is given a score between 1 and 10 according to
which decile its public transports score falls within. The findings are shown in Table 5

Table 5: Public Transport per Settlement
4.23
Table 5 above shows the scores of the public transport assessment for the different
settlements in the District. As can be seen from the table North Wingfield has the highest
public transport range among the settlements assessed. The table above shows that there
are a significant number of settlements in the District that have a very limited public
transport range, with six of the settlements that were assessed having nothing in terms of
public transportation. These six settlements are in the minority though as the majority of the
settlements that were assessed had at least some public transport services. That being
said however, as can be seen by table 5 above, the majority of the settlements have a
score of less than five, with their only being four settlements with a high score.
4.24
The findings show that generally speaking the more populated settlements have higher
scores for public transport services. There are some exceptions to this though like Heath
and Stretton which have smaller populations but which benefit from being on main bus
routes due to their geographical locations.
4.25
Sustainable travel is the key to securing the future success of settlements in a society that
is increasingly conscious of the need to conserve resources and mitigate against the impact
of climate change. Those settlements with good public transport services offer people
choice to use means of transport other than the car.

Conclusions
Summary of Findings
5.1
Based on the findings outlined in Section 4, a ranking of the relative sustainability of the
District’s settlements can be made by adding up the scores for the four key sustainability
factors. This is outlined in table 6 below.

Table 6: North East Derbyshire Settlement Sustainability Ranking
5.2
What this table shows is that based on the methodology selected, North Wingfield,
Holmewood and Tupton are the district’s most sustainable settlements, with 32, 26 and 26
out of 40 respectively. This however is taking into account that the four principal towns in
14
the District; Dronfield, Clay Cross, Eckington and Killamarsh were not included in the
assessment.
5.3
North Wingfield in the table above is shown to be the most sustainable settlement. The rest
of the settlements after the top three are all grouped quite close together, with their being
no significant gaps as the settlements descended in score. With scores of just 2 out of 40,
Bolehill, Cock Alley and Fallgate are the District’s three least sustainable settlements. This
is not surprising considering their size and rural locations.
5.4
These settlements will then be grouped into four different levels depending on where they
scored in the settlement ranking. The four main towns will be given a level 1 designation as
they far exceed the other settlements in terms of population, services and facilities, public
transport and employment opportunities.
5.5
Settlements that are scored 12 or over will be designated as level 2, as classified as
settlements with a good level of sustainability. Settlements that score 5 or over will be given
a level 3 designation, and will be classified as settlements with limited sustainability.
Settlements that score 4 or below will be given a level 4 and are classified as very small
villages and hamlets with very limited sustainability.
Implications
5.6
This hierarchy has been based on the social and economic sustainability of the settlements
in the District, having regard to the range of services within the settlement. However no
consideration has been given to the quality of those services or the ability of the services to
meet the needs of existing or future residents. Also, whilst the hierarchy indicates the
settlements most suited to development, it is not the only consideration when deciding on
the appropriate amount and type of development. Many of the settlements in the District
are currently constrained by Green Belt and other environmental factors that it has not been
possible to score. Levels of development will ultimately depend on the strategic policy
direction and suitable sites being available for development.
5.7
The four principal towns in the District were not included in this study as since 2005 and the
adoption of the North East Derbyshire District Local Plan, the towns of Clay Cross,
Dronfield, Eckington and Killamarsh have long been recognised as having town centres
which play an important role in serving the day to day shopping and other requirements of
the local community and surrounding settlements. These four settlements exceed all the
other settlements in the District in all four categories, to such a point that it would influence
unduly the final results of the study.
5.8
It should also be noted that the score reflects the settlement’s state at a point in time. The
Council may decide that it wants to elevate a settlement’s role within the hierarchy to
encourage further growth or sustain and improve existing facilities and services. At the
same time, the introduction of new services without any intervention might affect a
settlement’s function.
5.9
A decision to elevate a settlement’s role will come through the policies and proposals of the
emerging Local Plan. The Council may also decide that certain settlements such as Cock
Alley and Fallgate, those which have no facilities at all, are too small to hold any status
within the settlement hierarchy, and should therefore be dropped from the hierarchy
altogether.
5.10
It should also be noted that the position of the settlement within the hierarchy does not
inevitably mean that significant growth should be accommodated there because other
factors will need to be considered, such as environmental constraints. It is also quite
possible that through a planned approach a lower scoring settlement could become more
15
sustainable if growth also generated more services, community facilities, employment
opportunities and potentially better public transport services. A further issue to consider will
be whether a settlement can be helped to retain its services through improvements that can
be secured through the Local Plan. However, where the potential use of services is low
due to a small population or where there are no sites available for development,
opportunities may be limited.
5.11
Consideration also needs to be given to the way in which settlements might be grouped
together to share and sustain services. For instance, Ashover is physically closely related
to Alton, Fallgate, Littlemoor and Kelstedge and may be able to support the smaller
settlements by offering retail and health facilities.
5.12
The evidence provided by this Settlement Hierarchy Study will be an important
consideration when the Council develops the Local Plan for the North East Derbyshire
District and will provide a benchmark when considering development proposals.

B.5
B.6
B.7
This Appendix provides a short overview of the form and character of each settlement. This
includes historic information, whether there are any conservation areas and the kind of
properties in the settlement.
Alton
Alton is a small settlement in the parish of Ashover. It is very rural in character and only has
a small number of properties. It is surrounded by farms.
Apperknowle
Apperknowle is a small compact settlement in the north of the District. It has a rural
character and is clustered around a village green. There is a mix of modern and older
houses. It is located on a hilltop position with extensive views across the Drone Valley.
Apperknowle Colliery was the main employment use for the settlement. The colliery was
latterly owned by the Unstone Coal and Coke Company who extracted coal from it into the
early part of the twentieth century. The colliery was originally sunk in the 1840s under the
ownership of a small private company and continued in the hands of these small
companies until it was purchased by the Unstone Company. It was linked to Unstone Main
colliery by an overland tramway by the 1890s.
Arkwright Town
Arkwright Town is a compact new settlement, clustered around a community hub on the
northern side of the A623 Chesterfield Road. It was built in the mid 1990s to replace the
original settlement that was a coal mining village. When Arkwright Colliery closed in 1988, it
was discovered that the community was threatened by emissions of methane gas that
caused some of its houses to be evacuated. It was therefore decided to transfer ownership
of the existing properties to a housing trust, construct a new settlement in a different
location and move all the residents.
The new settlement is located on the opposite side of Chesterfield Road. The settlement is
all of a similar age, style, form and layout of development since it was designed and built as
a whole and has not evolved slowly and gradually over the years like most settlements.
Ashover
Ashover is a low density settlement of a predominantly rural character. It is the largest
settlement in the parish of Ashover and is situated in the western part of the District. The
settlement is located on the valley side of the River Amber. The character of the area as a
whole is one of rolling countryside, well wooded, with buildings and walls constructed from
local grit stones and sandstones. The landscape is well tended and the settlement is fairly
close knit and contained.
B.8
The earliest written record of the settlement is in the Doomsday Book of 1086. At this time
the parish was noted as being in possession of a church, priest, a plough and a mill, with a
taxable value of £4.00. It was known in Saxon times as ‘Essovre’, meaning ‘ridge where
ash trees grow’. The Sites and Monuments Record for the Parish as a whole identifies a
range of remains including limekilns, water and corn mills, lead works and sites of earlier
earthworks, axes and arrowheads.
B.9
The centre of the settlement, along Church Street and Butts Road is designated as a
Conservation Area. The All Saints Church dominates the Conservation Area and was built
between 1350 and 1419 in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Throughout the Conservation
Area there are buildings which display fine architecture and which are good examples of
the period in which they were built. Individually and collectively they (such as the Church,
18
the Old Vicarage and the Parish Rooms) contribute towards the character and appearance
of the Ashover townscape. The stone walls are also an important feature.
B.10
B.11
B.12
The medieval street pattern, which developed in a curvi-linear form partly shaped by the lie
of the land is also notable. The streets are long narrow spaces and their curving nature
restricts the views along them, helping to create the character of Ashover. A prime example
is the view south along Church Street from a position adjacent to the All Saints Church.
Barlow Commonside
Barlow Commonside area is set to the immediate north west of Chesterfield in an attractive
part of the District. It is a compact rural settlement with a mix of modern and older
dwellings.
Barlow Village
Barlow Village is a rural settlement located approximately 5 kilometres to the North West of
the centre of Chesterfield. The layout of the buildings in the settlement follow a ribbon form
of development concentrated along Barlow Main Road, with only one offshoot up Wilkin
Hill. There is a wide cross section of interesting buildings many of which are farmhouses
with large ancillary “L” shaped barns which have been the subject of conversion into
residential uses.
B.13
In Saxon days the village was called Barleie and it receives mention in the Domesday Book
of 1086. It means either “woodland clearing where the boars are seen” or it refers to the
growing of barley. Although today Barlow is considered as a rural, agricultural settlement
with a number of working farms, about a century ago there were 14 pits and as many
opencast mines. Barlow coal was particularly free of sulphur and ideal for use in steel
making or for coke and steam coal. However, many of the collieries closed at the end of the
19th century.
B.14
The settlement, a designated Conservation Area, is characterised by buildings that are
situated close to the roadside on the main thoroughfare. Some of them are listed buildings.
The farmhouses generally have a small garden to the front whilst the cottages are built up
to the street frontage. The majority of older buildings are constructed from coal measures
sandstone with brick only being used for one historic building. Drystone field boundary walls
with coping stones are prominent throughout the settlement and make an important
contribution to its character.

Bolehill
Bolehill is a small settlement in the parish of Sutton cum Duckmanton. It is very rural in
character and the small number of properties is located along the main road.
Brackenfield
Brackenfield is located in the south of the District close to Gorton Reservoir, within a
predominantly farming area. The settlement is fairly scattered in character, but centred on
Brackenfield Green. It has a number of 17th century houses and others that were
substantially rebuilt during the 19th century. Some properties are listed buildings.
Brackenfield, meaning 'bracken clearing', first occurs in written records as Bracken Waite
during the 12th century when it appears to have been an area of rough grazing land lying
between Gorton and Wessington6.
Calow
Calow is set to the immediate east of Chesterfield and forms a nucleated settlement with
Remington Common (within Chesterfield Borough administrative area). The boundary with
Chesterfield Borough runs through the middle of the two settlements. It is a reasonably
http://www.derbyshireuk.net/brackenfield.html (accessed 28-11-2016)
19
large and built up settlement with a mix of Victorian terraced houses and more modern
estate development.
B.19
B.20
The origins of the settlement date back to 1086, when it was known as Kalehal, meaning
the ‘bare corner of land’. It is recorded that there was a manor house which "belonged to
the king" around the same time that the Domesday Book was compiled. In 1821 it was
recorded that there were 79 houses, 83 families and 600 persons. Out of these persons,
three-quarters were employed in farming and the rest in the manufacture of iron. Both coal
and iron were formerly worked in the settlement and for some time, blast furnaces were in
operation. The coal that was mined from Calow also supplied the furnaces at Duckmanton.
Clay Cross
Clay Cross is the largest settlement in the southern half of the District and is located on the
main A61 corridor and the Midland Mainline railway. Clay Cross straddles the A61 with the
main part of the settlement to the eastern side of the corridor. This part of the A61 follows
the route of a former Roman Road and lies on a ridge at the 140 metre contour line.
B.21
Clay Cross was rapidly established as an industrial town during the second half of the
nineteenth century. It followed the cutting of a 1.5 kilometre tunnel near the hamlet of Clay
Lane for the North Midland Railway in 1837 and the discovery of good seams of coal and
ironstone. George Stephenson, the famous engineer and entrepreneur, led the creation of
a company determined to exploit the natural coal reserves. The expansion of the town
followed an ad hoc approach at first, with scattered development of long rows of terraced
housing and a few commercial buildings, but eventually by the later nineteenth century all
of the frontages along High Street and Market Street were fully developed.
B.22
Eventually during the late twentieth century the collieries closed and a number of heavy
industries followed suit. The town is now left with the legacy of its industrial growth in a core
of Victorian commercial and public buildings along High Street and Market Street, further
afield detached houses and a few terraced rows, the fragmented remains of once hundreds
of terraced cottages. The best preserved historic buildings along High Street and Market
Street, together with Clay Cross Hall and its parkland setting, were designated a
Conservation Area in September 2010.
B.23
The core of the current town centre lies around the junction of Market Street and High
Street. The main characteristics of this area include three-storey large scale commercial
buildings, located in close proximity to the road. The area to the west of the A61 includes
larger detached properties, set back from the road. There are larger commercial buildings
to the north of the settlement. This is also where the former Silkston works are located.
B.24
The eastern and south eastern areas of the settlement are mainly residential in character,
with older properties closer to the town centre and post 1960 properties further out. A
newer estate has been constructed in the north eastern area of the settlement, with
residential properties, as well as a business park. Along Market Street, located between the
town centre and the newer estate, is Sharley Park. This is a large green area in the
centre of the settlement. It also contains a leisure centre, sporting facilities and a
community hospital.
B.25
Coal Aston
Coal Aston is located in the north of the District. Although once separated from Dronfield by
open fields, the old village centre now forms the north eastern edge of the town of
Dronfield. There is evidence that the settlement dates back to the early medieval period. An
early entry for the village of ‘Aston’ appears in the Domesday Book and has been attributed
to this settlement. The entry indicates that the settlement consisted of two freemen, six
villagers and one smallholder with three ploughs (an area of land) in all. The farming
community grew in the medieval period with farms and workers cottages being constructed.
20
B.26
In the 18th century, the coal mining industry developed, which is reflected in the occupations
of the residents in the census. However, other trades and occupations were also recorded,
indicating that Coal Aston had become a substantially self-sufficient community.
B.27
The medieval core is still evident within the settlement and is designated as a Conservation
Area. Stone farmhouses and converted farm buildings are still the dominant buildings within
the heart of the settlement, although later infill development has also taken place. Other
areas in the settlement are mostly residential in character, with post-war properties.
B.28
B.29
Cock Alley
Cock Alley is a small settlement in the parish of Sutton cum Duckmanton. It is very rural in
character and the small number of properties is focussed around the crossing of Dark Road
with Bole Hill.
Cutthorpe
Cutthorpe is situated to the west of Chesterfield. The layout of buildings in the settlement
follow a ribbon form of development concentrated along the main road, which runs through
the settlement for about three miles, until reaching The Grange at its highest point, with
commanding views all around.
B.30
Although Cutthorpe was not mentioned in the Domesday Book, it would almost certainly
have been included in the District of Brantune (Brampton). The name is derived from ‘Cutt’,
a 14th century family residing in the District and ‘thorpe’ meaning ‘outlying farm’; the whole
meaning ‘Cutt’s outlying farm’. The oldest buildings in the settlement are the Old Manor
House, parts of Cutthorpe Hall and the Dower House. Although many buildings have been
erected in the village, the main street has changed little in 400 years. A Conservation Area
is designated for this area.
B.31
Cutthorpe was a thriving mining village in the past, with four collieries turning coal. They
were situated at Four Lane Ends at the junction of the B6051 and B6050; near Cutthorpe
Methodist Chapel on Main Road; half way down Common Lane and at Ingmanthorpe.
Living accommodation to house the miners and their families was built by John Brown, a
local philanthropist. The pairs of brick built houses cost £78 each and were known as ‘The
Poplars’, each having a poplar tree planted at the front gate. When the collieries became
disused, the workings were dismantled and the rural landscape restored.
B.32
Dronfield
Dronfield is the largest settlement in the District lying between Chesterfield and Sheffield
and surrounded by Green Belt.
B.33
Dronfield stretches from Stonelow Road in the east of the town to Holmesfield Road in the
west and Holmey Lane in the north to Hilltop Road in the south. It has the only railway
station in the District. Historically, Dronfield developed as two settlements; the principal one
being on the hillside around the Parish Church and the secondary, more industrialised
township, in the valley below, strung out along the River Drone beside the Chesterfield to
Sheffield Road. Whilst the riverside had been the site for the occasional mill since medieval
times, it did not begin to be intensively developed until the end of the 18th century. The
upper town however retains evidence of a much longer time span, possibly dating back to
Anglo-Saxon times. In fact the town’s name is Anglo-Saxon in origin meaning ‘open land
where there are bees’.
B.34
Although Dronfield was a relatively poor place around Domesday times, it developed
steadily during the 10th and 11th centuries as the centre of a large District within a Royal
Estate. Evidence of the upper town’s medieval origins can be found in the surviving cruck
buildings, the Parish Church and historic meandering street pattern.
21
B.35
Agriculture remained the principal means of employment up until the 19th century, but local
industry started to have significance in Dronfield’s economy from the second half of the 17 th
century. By the end of the 18th century, the banks of the river in the lower town were
becoming intensively developed by industry associated with iron and coal. Water powered
workshops and mills were built at various points and at least four dams provided the power
for these operations. The Edward Lucas and Son malleable iron foundry was established in
1790 and occupied the uppermost site. Its position is now marked by a plaque in an area of
open space off Chesterfield Road, near the railway station. With only a few exceptions
almost all of the buildings in the lower town were developed during the 19th century or later.
The absence of typical industrial housing is because by the time such buildings were
springing up elsewhere, Dronfield’s industry was in decline. The lower town never
recovered from this decline and this decay is still evident along Chesterfield Road today,
although a number of properties have recently been restored.
B.36
The upper town was less affected by the boom building time and fared better during the era
of decline. However it is estimated that during the 19th century between one quarter and
one third of the old upper town was lost. Very little evidence of Ward Yard or Post Yard
survives, yet it was these adjacent courts of cottages, stables, brew houses and outhouses
which made up a considerable part of the town. 20th century developments have in filled
small gaps in the historic street frontages. Later 20th century developments include the civic
centre development, comprising shops, sports centre, health clinic and civic hall.
B.37
The town centre area has been designated as a Conservation Area. In addition, a small
area in Dronfield Woodhouse has also been designated as a Conservation Area. Two of
the landmarks are St John the Baptist Parish Church and the Peel Monument.
B.38
The western and southern areas of Dronfield currently mostly comprise residential
properties, the majority of which are from the post-war era. There are also a number of
larger green spaces, such as Sindlefingen Park. Along the railway line and Callywhite Lane,
commercial and industrial buildings are located. There are more residential areas to the
north east, towards Coal Aston.
B.39
Eckington
Eckington is situated to the north east of Chesterfield adjacent to the boundary with
Sheffield. The settlement stretches from Eckington School to the west of the town as far as
Ash Crescent in the south and Rotherside Road to the northeast. The A616 Sheffield to
Newark-upon-Trent road runs through the settlement and links to junction 30 of the M1
Motorway.
B.40
The settlement is first mentioned in 1002AD in the will of Wulfric Spott, a noble man
attached to the Court of the Saxon King, where it was written as Eccingtune meaning
Ecca’s or Ecci’s farm. The Domesday survey of 1086 records the Parish of Eckington as
being divided between two manors. The larger proportion belonged to Ralph FitzHubert and
contained 14 villagers, a mill, priest and slave, in addition to meadow and woodland
pasture. The smaller portion formed part of the Royal Manor of Newbold, along with
Chesterfield.
B.41
The early medieval settlement of Eckington centred on Church Street and the Parish
Church of St Peter and St Paul. The church dates from 1100 and is the only surviving
building of this early period in Eckington. The early form of the settlement was undoubtedly
dictated by surrounding park land, fields and commons. Records indicate that the present
day Market Street, Church Street and Southgate were in existence by the early 14th
century.
22
B.42
The early economy of Eckington was almost certainly based upon agriculture, consisting
mainly of mixed farming on the open fields. In terms of industry, there is evidence of iron
working as early as 1415, a direct consequence of Eckington’s proximity to coal, ironstone
and waterpower. During the next four centuries iron and coal became increasingly
important. During the industrial revolution of the 19th century, a foundry was established in
the heart of the town, at Stead Street. The foundry was served by a number of collieries
located in the vicinity, such as Hornthorpe Colliery located near Eckington Marsh to the
south west of the town, Plumbley Colliery to the north of Ince Piece Wood and Renishaw
Park Colliery to the south east.
B.43
By 1841, 254 houses were recorded in the settlement, representing steady growth. This
was followed by rapid expansion that accompanied the industrial revolution. The coal and
iron industries led to the construction of rows of terraced cottages to house the expanding
workforce. The long terraced streets of Southgate, Station Road, Queen Street and
Ashland Road and expansion along High Street at ‘Upper’ Eckington were developed at
this time. The commercial centre of Eckington also expanded to serve the growing
community, along with the construction of public buildings and facilities.
B.44
The 20th century has witnessed the development of housing estates around the traditional
core of the town. Many historic farmsteads have been converted to residential use and
gaps in the road frontages have been in-filled with new development. The town centre has
been partially redeveloped with the development of the library, civic centre and swimming
pool, new buildings along the Market Street frontage and a large new supermarket on the
site of the old foundry. The area along High Street has been designated as a Conservation
Area, as well as a larger area in the east of the settlement, including Renishaw Hall and
Gardens. The western areas of Eckington consist mainly of residential properties, the
majority of which are from the post-war era.
B.45
B.46
Fallgate
Fallgate is a small settlement in the parish of Ashover. It is very rural in character and only
has a small number of properties, some of which are listed buildings. The property density
is 5.4 properties per hectare.
Grassmoor
Grassmoor is a settlement approximately 4 km south of Chesterfield. The B6038 is the
main route running through the village and most of the existing development is grouped
around this road. The northern half of the village is bounded by the Green Belt. The Green
Belt boundary runs to Mill Lane on the eastern side of the village and Birkin Lane on the
western side of the village. The original name of the settlement was Gresmore, meaning
'Grey Copse'.
B.47
Until the colliery closed in 1970, the main employment in the village was coal mining with
about 90% of the men working at the Grassmoor Colliery. The first shaft was sunk in 1846
and officially opened in 1880 by Mr Barnes, the colliery owner. Two rows of houses were
built for colliery workers, the longest named East Street, but commonly called 'Sluggards
Row' because the miners living in these houses, although they were nearest the colliery,
were always the last to arrive. The second row named Grasshill was for colliery officials and
was known as 'Four Bob', the reason being that the rent was only four shillings per week. 7
B.48
North Wingfield Road is the long main road through the village, from which side roads lead
to the majority of the housing stock, which is mainly terraced properties and Council
housing, although in the 1980s a new estate was built which included larger detached
properties. Barnes Park is also located on this road.

B.51
A large recreation resource for people in Grassmoor is Grassmoor Country Park, which is
located on the old colliery site. It also provides access to the Five Pits Trail, a recreational
route.
Handley (nr Stretton)
Handley is a small settlement in the parish of Stretton. It is very rural in character and only
has a small number of properties, two of which are listed buildings.
Heath
Heath is a traditional linear settlement and the majority of the built form fronts Main Street.
The settlement is fairly quiet in traffic terms as the busy A6175 runs around the settlement
and removes the need for any through traffic. Heath is located 7.5 km south west of
Chesterfield and only 0.5 km from Junction 29 of the M1. The majority of the settlement is
designated as a Conservation Area.
B.52
The predominantly stone buildings are situated on high ground and overlook the Doe Lea
Valley. The settlement was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as being two separate
sites and referred to as the Two Lunts, Lunt being an Anglo-Saxon word meaning a
clearing in a wood. The primary settlement is believed to have been to the east, on the
slope of the hill, close to where the medieval church ruins are today. The secondary site
was on higher ground to the west, probably the site of the present settlement of Heath.
B.53
Records from the late 16th century indicate that Heath was a fully self sufficient settlement,
producing its own food and providing its own services. Occupations included farmers, a
stone mason, a blacksmith and a cordwainer (a seller of firewood), with eleven
householders licensed to sell ale. Water was provided by a number of wells throughout the
village. A map of 1609 shows Heath as a linear settlement surrounded by fields, with farm
buildings lining the main street. In the early 19th century widespread rebuilding was
undertaken by the Chatsworth Estate and the majority of dwellings in Heath date from this
time.
B.54
Higham
Higham is a traditional, rural, linear village. It is part of the parish of Shirland and Higham
and is located approximately 4 km south of Clay Cross. The B6013 runs through the length
of this village and most of the existing development fronts this road. The majority of the
settlement is designated as a Conservation Area.
B.55
Higham is situated on a ridge of coal measures rock, running north-south, approximately
160 metres above sea level. It is linear in character, with historic buildings of predominantly
sandstone and gritstone lining the road to the east, with gaps to the west in filled with
modern development.
B.56
The Roman road Rykneld Street ran along the high ridge north-south. It is possible there
was a Romano-Celtic settlement at Higham, as Roman coins dating from the 3rd and 4th
century has been found at Well Farm on the western edge of the village, but there is no
further evidence. In the Domesday survey of 1086, Higham was part of the Manor of
Shirland.
B.57
Having been a fairly poor place in 1086, the Manor of Shirland now started to outgrow its
neighbours. In 1243 a charter was granted for a market to be held once a week in Higham,
with an annual three day fair. Higham, perfectly positioned on the main thoroughfare from
Derby to Chesterfield, became the commercial centre of the Manor. After having flourished
for over 500 years, the market ceased to exist in the 18th century.
B.58
Demand for coal rose sharply in the 18th century and in 1739 a lease was granted to mine
the Higham area. At the same time, landowners and tenant farmers benefited, because of
24
the rise in demand for agricultural produce in response to the Industrial Revolution. Higham
became a flourishing agricultural centre, supplying the growing population in the area and
further afield.
B.59
B.60
B.61
Highmoor
Highmoor is situated in the far north eastern corner of the District adjacent to Killamarsh
and close to the M1 Motorway and the border with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough
Council. Highmoor is a small, linear settlement set on a ridgeline to the east of Killamarsh
and is rural in character.
Holmesfield
Holmesfield is located to the west of Dronfield, standing on an 850 foot ridge. The
settlement is of ancient origin, with much evidence of Neolithic remains. The two stone
circles on Ramsley Moor are the most obvious signs of Stone Age man, but on looking at
the landscape more carefully, numerous mounds and burrows become apparent.
Excavations of several sites have revealed evidence of flint tool manufacture, but few, if
any, human remains have been found. The Parish is unusually rich in historic houses,
several of which still retain their original ‘cruck’ timbers. Part of the settlement is also
designated as a Conservation Area, which includes several Listed Buildings and
designated Ancient Monuments.
Holmewood
Holmewood is a large village located approximately 7 km south west of Chesterfield, close
to Junction 29 of the M1. The built form of the village is mainly characterised by inter-war
housing of a regular pattern and density. Holmewood Industrial Park lies immediately north
of the village and Holmewood Industrial Estate lies immediately to the south west..
B.62
In 1868, Holmewood Colliery, also called Hardwick Colliery, was opened in this area. By
1870 it was decided to extend the operations, and with that end in view a new undertaking
was formed, the Hardwick Colliery Company, designed to exploit the reserves of the area
leased from the Duke of Devonshire. The village of Holmewood did not exist at this time
and the workers mainly came from other areas such as North Wingfield.
B.63
After about 1873, boom turned into depression for some 20 years, demand fell and miners
were subject to the usual rigours of depression. But the colliery did not close. By 1900, the
company had survived the worst years and increased its share capital. In 1901, about a
mile north of Holmewood Colliery, sinking operations took place for a new colliery,
Williamthorpe Colliery, to coincide with roads already driven underground from Holmewood
Colliery. Unfortunately, due to water constantly flooding into the shafts, this colliery could
only be opened in 1905.
B.64
With the modernisation of the Company, there was a need for a constant and reliable
workforce. Therefore, between 1901 and 1911, the area known as Williamthorpe Wood,
opposite Heath Station, was gradually turned into the village of Holmewood. Terraced
houses were built around Hunloke Road, Wood Street, Compton Street, Hardwick Street,
North Road and to the north of Heath Road. The Great Central Railway passed through the
settlement and Heath Railway Station operated to transport coal to Hull docks for export.
The station closed to passenger traffic in 1963 and for freight four years later. In the 1930s,
the settlement developed further with houses to the south of Heath Road, around
Springfield Road and Mornington Road, and some to the north of Heath Road, around
Searston Avenue.
B.65
The settlement was, until nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947, totally dependent on
this Company. The Company had control over most of the miners’ activities; it owned the
pubs, collieries and church, where attendance often decided whether a man was employed
or not.
25
B.66
B.67
The closure of Holmewood Colliery in 1968 and Williamthorpe Colliery in 1970, due to lack
of resources, brought the dismantling of the railway and parts of the old village. New
houses replaced some of the terraces of Wood Street, Compton Street and Hardwick
Street. The colliery buildings were demolished, the industrial estate now stands on the site
of Holmewood Colliery and its spoil heaps, and the industrial park is now located on the site
of Williamthorpe Colliery. The old railway lines are used as multi user trails for walkers,
cyclists and horse riders.
Holymoorside
Holymoorside is situated about three and a half miles to the south west of Chesterfield. The
settlement has a linear pattern in the north east, with properties along Holymoor Road. The
properties on the western side of the settlement have a more nucleated form, mostly within
the defines of New Road, Loads Road and Gallery Lane.
B.68
The name Holymoorside may be derived from what is now ‘Sycamore Farm’. The
farmhouse is almost certainly the location of the mill which is described in the 17th and 18th
century documents as Holly Milne or Howley Milne. It could also be derived from
Scandinavian settlers, Holy coming from ‘Hangr’ or Hôh Lêah (hill clearing) to which ‘Môr’
was added. An alternative explanation is that the land was used by monks from Harewood,
an area south-west of Holymoorside, hence ’Holy Moor’.
B.69
Situated 450 feet above sea-level, the settlement has been in existence for around 200
years. Holymoorside grew up around its cotton mills, with the fast flowing River Hipper and
Loads Brook providing power for the water wheels. Many of the mills had been in existence
since the 1790s but it was not until the late 1830s, that they were developed into a thriving
concern. These mills have now gone. Until the early 1800s smelting activities were carried
out, with the nearby areas of carboniferous limestone being worked for lead. Another village
industry was basket and whisket making and the surrounding land was used for farming.
B.70
B.71
Kelstedge
Kelstedge is a small settlement in the parish of Ashover. The A632 Matlock Road runs
through the centre of the settlement. The west side of this road contains the more
traditional buildings of the settlement with stone cottages and large detached dwellings.
The east side of this road is characterised by a 1970s housing estate of regular layout and
density.
Killamarsh
Killamarsh is situated in the extreme north east corner of the District, immediately adjacent
to the boundary with Rotherham and Sheffield. The settlement has an irregular shape and
encompasses the industrial area around Ellisons Road to the north of the town down to
Westthorpe Fields Road in the south. To the immediate northern side of Killamarsh is
Rother Valley Country Park.
B.72
Killamarsh is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Chinewoldemaresc, the
marsh of Kynwold or Cynwold. The village also comprised outlying hamlets or ‘thorpes’,
Westthorpe, Upperthorpe, Netherthorpe and Kirkthorpe with St Giles’ Church at its centre.
The community originally grew from a farming community, self sufficient in agricultural and
dairy produce since the Middle Ages.
B.73
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Killamarsh became a thriving mining town as the Sheffield
iron industry demanded coal and transport links with Sheffield. Coal has been mined in
Killamarsh since at least the 15th century, but the first major mining operation opened at
Norwood resulting in an almost doubling of the Killamarsh population between 1861 and
1871. The last two pits, Westthorpe and High Moor, closed in the 1980s. The sites of the
26
former Norwood and Westthorpe collieries are now occupied by industrial estates
accommodating a range of small businesses.
B.74
The Chesterfield Canal, which was routed through Killamarsh, opened in 1777, and played
an important part in the social and economic development of Killamarsh. Profitable for more
than a century the canal gradually declined in the face of railway competition and by the
1840s came into the ownership of what was to become the Great Central Railway. The
canal continued to carry commercial traffic throughout its length until the First World War.
After that the western section from Chesterfield to Killamarsh continued to supply water to
the iron, steel and chemical works at Staveley and the iron works at Renishaw. With the
progressive decline of these works, and the development of piped water supplies, the canal
further declined and by the 1970s several sections of the canal had been in-filled. At
Killamarsh, housing was built upon part of the canal line and other sections were in-filled to
form public open space.8
B.75
The shopping and commercial centre of Killamarsh is based around the Parkside Shopping
Centre to the south of Sheffield Road, between Bridge Street and Stanley Street. The site is
currently vacant, but has planning permission (2011) for a new supermarket. Residential
properties in Killamarsh mostly consist of a mixture of early 20th century terraces and post
war semi - and detached houses. To the west of Killamarsh are two disused railway lines,
one of which is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

Littlemoor
Littlemoor is a small linear settlement in the parish of Ashover. It is a traditional rural
settlement with low density development and stone cottages.
Long Duckmanton
Long Duckmanton is located to the eastern edge of the District, approximately 5.5 km east
of Chesterfield. The busy A632 Chesterfield to Bolsover Road runs through the south of the
settlement, which has a traditional rural village character of detached dwellings, stone faced
cottages and converted farm buildings. The northern part of the settlement comprises more
recent residential development.
Lower Pilsley
Lower Pilsley is a small, but fairly dense settlement located approximately 2 km east of
Clay Cross and just north of Pilsley. The main route through the village, Rupert Street, runs
from Grassmoor through the settlement to Pilsley. The current pattern of development is of
a regular density and form.
Marsh Lane
Marsh Lane is set on high ground between Dronfield and Eckington. Main Road cuts
through the settlement with some properties to the north. However, the majority of
properties are located within the housing estate of Lightwood, to the south of Main Road.
Mickley
Mickley is a fairly compact settlement, set to the south of Clay Cross on the eastern side of
the A61 Main Road. The settlement consists mostly of post-war Council housing, but there
are also some newer properties.
Morton
Morton is a linear settlement in the southern part of the District, located approximately
3.5km south of Clay Cross. Existing development is concentrated along both sides of Main
Road (B6014) and consists of predominantly Victorian terraced dwellings. The traditional
part of the settlement, centred on Church Lane, is a designated Conservation Area and
Chesterfield Canal Partnership, Next Navigation East, 2010
27
includes a number of listed buildings. Additionally, there is a small residential estate west of
the main body of the settlement on Stretton Road, called Sitwell Villas.
B.82
Morton or ‘town on the moor’ began as a desolate hamlet in Saxon time when the only
access was by the same road as is used today. Before the arrival of the Normans, the
village consisted of a few farms near the church, probably surrounded by a mud earthwork
of which traces existed in the 19th century. The earliest mention of Morton appears in the
will of Wulfric Spott (a Saxon nobleman) in the year 1002 who bequeathed the manor to
Burton Abbey, together with the adjacent manor of Oggodestun (Ogston).
B.83
The mining industry started as early as medieval times during the reign of Edward II. Before
this, Morton was a largely agricultural community, but it became heavily dependent on the
coal mines. There was once a forge on Back Lane of which William and Richard Parsons
were the proprietors, where they manufactured iron weighing machinery. The actual forge
survived many years, lying in a siding at the No. 6 colliery.
B.84
In 1865 a deep shaft was sunk to work the Blackshale and Tupton seams of coal. The
colliery closed in 1965 and the site is now used as an industrial estate, although some of
the pithead buildings, including the winding gantry, still survive.
B.85
North Wingfield
North Wingfield contains a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to social housing
and modern estate layouts. It is located approximately 5.5 km south of Chesterfield and 1.5
km north east of Clay Cross. The settlement contains the former hamlets of Hepthorne
Lane, Hillyfields, Highfields and Church Hill. The area around Church Hill is the oldest part
of the settlement and is designated as a Conservation Area. The property density is 23.01
properties per hectare.
B.86
North Wingfield was called Winnefelt in the Domesday Book of 1086. The Manor was held
by Walter de Ayncourt or Deincourt at the time of the survey and it also lists that there were
a church and a priest. It appears however that Pilsley (Pinneslei) was a place of still greater
note, for Winnefelt is described as belonging to Pilsley Manor. At this time, the settlement
was a community of smallholders who had settled around the village and farmed by the
traditional open field system. Buildings on and around what is now Bright Street date from
the early and mid 18th century, indicating that perhaps this road may have been the centre
of the settlement.
B.87
There were several collieries in the vicinity. The nearest was the Alma Colliery, situated at
the north end of the settlement, which once employed 600 miners, but closed in 1932. The
pits at Parkhouse, Williamthorpe and Clay Cross also provided employment for the North
Wingfield miners.
B.88
Old Brampton
Old Brampton is situated to the immediate west of Chesterfield and forms a linear pattern of
development running east to west. The settlement consists of older random development
to the east, designated as a Conservation Area, and more regular plots to the west.
B.89
The settlement has three entries in the Domesday Book of 1086; two manors belonging to
Ascoit Musard and one to Walter Deincourt. These had been given by William the
Conqueror after the Norman invasion of 1066. The name ‘Brampton’ is derived from the
name of the previous inhabitant ‘Branwine’ or ‘Brantune’ as it was then written.
B.90
The settlement was never large, although nearby rivers promoted the lead smelting industry
during the 17th century. The area’s industrial importance was based mainly on its mineral
wealth in ironstone, coal and clay. These may have been mined here as early as the 13th
century, though mining proceeded more rapidly in later centuries. Brampton stands on the
28
exposed coalfield where the measures lie between Permian rocks to the east and gritstone
to the west. The area is rich in first class industrial and house coal. Quality ironstone is
usually found in association with coal in the area and indeed some pits mined both, though
the iron close to the surface was reached via bell pits and adits. Nearly half of the
population was employed by collieries and pits in 1883.
B.91
Pilsley
Pilsley is a former mining village, located in the south of the District approximately 2.5 km
south east of Clay Cross. The north eastern corner of the settlement is based around a
more traditional, informal road layout and is known as ‘Upper Pilsley’. However, the majority
of the village follows an estate pattern of regular densities and layout.
B.92
The earliest mention of Pilsley occurs in the will of Wulfric Spott in 1002, when it was spelt
Pilleslege. At the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 it was spelt Pinneslei and at this
time Henry de Ferieres and Walter de Ayncourt (Deincourt) held lands here. These two
names clearly denote the Norman presence in the area just twenty years after the Battle of
Hastings. The earliest date that the current spelling of Pilsley was first used is 1577.
B.93
Mining became important in the 19th century. The colliery was sunk in 1873 and at the turn
of the century employed 1000 men and boys working at three seams – Deep Hard Coal,
Black Shale, and Tupton – with a daily output of 1,200 tons. The Manchester, Sheffield and
Lincolnshire Railway Company constructed a main line through the village which eventually
became part of their ambitious London extension. A station was built and the line was
opened for passenger travel in 1883. The colliery and railway line had disappeared by the
mid 1960s, and very little now remains to show their previous existence.

Renishaw
Renishaw (called Ravenshorn in the Domesday Book) is located in the north east of the
District adjacent to the boundary with Bolsover. The settlement is on the Main Road (A616)
between Eckington and Barlborough, to the south of Killamarsh. The older part of the
village is located on the south side of the main road and forf many years a large foundry to
the north side of Main Road dominated the settlement. However, this site has been
reclaimed and an extensive new mixed-use development has taken place. The property
density is 20.60 properties per hectare. The Chesterfield Canal and Trans-Pennine Trail
both run adjacent to the settlement and provide car-free links to neighbouring settlements
and opportunities for recreation and tourism. The settlement is also closely linked to
Renishaw Hall and Gardens.
Ridgeway
Ridgeway is located in the far north of the District adjacent to the boundary with Sheffield. It
is a rural settlement within the Moss Valley and linear in form, set along Main Road.
Ridgeway is believed to be around 700 years old and would once have been part of
Sherwood Forest. Historically this part of the Moss Valley was famous for the
manufacturing of hand-forged sickles, hooks and scythes that were vital for the agriculture
of the time and it exported these tools successfully to many parts of the world.
Shirland
Shirland is located in the south of the District, approximately 4 km south of Clay Cross and
4 km north of Alfreton. Existing development in the settlement is predominately located
along the A61 Main Road and Hallfieldgate Lane. The western end of Hallfieldgate Lane is
designated as a Conservation Area.
The Manor of Shirland is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was held by
William Peveril. The settlement was built around St. Leonard’s Church. The foundations of
29
the church date back to 1220. However, the majority of the church which stands today is of
15th century origin.
B.99
For many centuries, the inhabitants of Shirland were mostly involved in agriculture.
However, the first deep mine was sunk in Shirland in 1864 and became the major employer
in the area for the next 100 years. By the turn of the century the pit employed 500 miners.
The colliery finally closed down in 1965. The site of the colliery was reclaimed and
landscaped by Derbyshire County Council in 1972 and is now a golf course.
Spinkhill
B.100 Between Renishaw and Killamarsh is the small settlement of Spinkhill adjacent to the
boundary with Bolsover District Council. Spinkhill is located on high ground and is visually
prominent from the surrounding countryside. The settlement is first mentioned in a Pipe
Roll (a tax list) in 1273, where Michael de Spinghill is listed. The name ‘Spink’ in the
Derbyshire dialect is any bird of the finch family. 9 Mount Saint Mary’s College occupies the
buildings of Spinkhill Hall. These buildings are a dominant feature in the landscape.
Stonebroom
B.101 Stonebroom is a linear settlement stretching over 1 km in length. The majority of the built
form of the settlement fronts Birkenstyle Lane/High Street. The settlement is part of the
parish of Shirland and Higham and it is located approximately 4 km south of Clay Cross.
B.102 In the 19th century, Stonebroom only consisted of a few properties. However, around 1900,
houses were built for colliery workers and were called 'the blocks'. These were blocks of
eight terraced houses providing 160 dwellings. They were condemned before 1939 but only
demolished in 1950. From the 1970s, new housing and industrial estates were built on the
land. Meanwhile a large housing estate had also been established in the "upper" area of
Stonebroom.10
Stretton
B.103 Stretton is a small linear settlement immediately south of Clay Cross. Development fronts
both sides of the busy A61 Stretton Road/Main Road that runs though the length of the
settlement and is of a fairly uniform type and density. It is set on high ground and is easily
viewed from the west.
B.104 Straettum was first mentioned in 1002, the name being derived from the Old English
meaning ‘Farm on the Roman Road’ (Rykneld Street). The Domesday Survey of 1086
records Stratune as having ‘land for 4 ploughs’. Coal and ironstone mining began during
the 17th century.
Sutton Scarsdale
B.105 Sutton Scarsdale is a small settlement based around the historic Sutton Scarsdale Hall. It is
located in the east of the District approximately 5.5 km south east of Chesterfield. The
settlement is set on high ground and is easily viewed from the north.
Temple Normanton
B.106 Temple Normanton is located on a prominent hill top, approximately 5km south east of
Chesterfield, to the southern side of the A617 dual carriageway. The settlement is
comprised of predominantly frontage development along Birkin Lane and Church Lane, with
a small housing estate situated north of the B6099. The land immediately west of Church
Lane, up to Mansfield Road is within the Green Belt.
B.107 Temple Normanton was once known as North Normanton and Little Normanton. The Manor
of Normanton at the time of the Domesday Survey was in the hands of the King, but later

passed to the Order of the Knights Templars from whom it derived its prefix. In 1846, the
settlement comprised 500 acres of land, 29 houses and 132 inhabitants.
Tupton
B.108 Tupton is located approximately 2.5 km north of Clay Cross and 4.5 km south of
Chesterfield, and spreads across both sides of the A61 trunk road. The settlement
stretches from Nethermoor Road and Queen Victoria Road in the north to Ashover Road in
the south.
B.109 The name Tupton is thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon term ‘Topi’s Tun’,
meaning the farm of someone called Topi. It seems likely that the original settlement was
founded between 550AD and 878AD. Originally, Tupton was mainly an agricultural area,
but by the early 1800s the major industry was coal mining. Tupton Green Colliery stood
where the Old Tupton Methodist Church now stands. The present Chapel was one of the
workshops of the colliery. The railway track used by the colliery ran down what is now
Station New Road to join the main railway system.
Unstone Crow Lane
B.110 The settlement of Unstone Crow Lane is located in the north of the District between
Dronfield and Chesterfield. It includes the collection of dwellings on Crow Lane to the south
and west of St. Mary’s Church, and also the terraced properties along St. John’s Road. The
settlement has a rural character.
Unstone Green
B.111 The settlement of Unstone Green is located in the north of the District between Dronfield
and Chesterfield. It has a nucleated pattern of development, set along Sheffield Road, and
consists mainly of post war residential properties.
Wadshelf
B.112 Wadshelf is situated to the west of Chesterfield on high ground. The settlement is
designated as a Conservation Area and is centred on a ‘T’ junction around Top Lane and
School Lane. The settlement has a very rural character and is relatively small in size.
Walton
B.113 Walton is a suburb of Chesterfield. Large parts of the settlement are within the
administrative area of Chesterfield Borough Council, but a small area falls within North East
Derbyshire. The area mostly includes detached and semi-detached residential properties.
Wessington
B.114 Wessington is located in the far south western corner of the District, approximately 6 km
south of Clay Cross and 4.5 km north of Alfreton. The traditional part of the settlement
fronts the A615 Matlock Road. The properties on the northern side of Matlock Road are
mainly part of a modern housing estate of regular size, layout and density. Wessington
Green leads out from the centre of the village to the fields and countryside beyond.
B.115 At the time of the Domesday Book, Wessington was known as Wistanestune. One
suggestion is that the name is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon ‘waes’ meaning
water, and denoting a wet place and ‘tun’ meaning town; the whole, then meaning ‘wet
town’ or ‘town of the moist place’.
B.116 Wessington was formed out of the Parish of Crich in 1857. At that time the majority of the
515 inhabitants were employed in framework knitting, there being about 80 frames in the
settlement.
Wingerworth
31
B.117 Wingerworth is a larger settlement located approximately 2 km south of Chesterfield. It is a
diverse settlement with many house types ranging from the more formal 1960s and 1970s
estate layouts to individual detached dwellings. The land between Chesterfield and
Wingerworth is designated as Green Belt.
B.118 The settlement is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, in which a community of
fourteen households of freemen is entered. However, a few remnants of the prehistoric and
Roman periods have been found in Wingerworth, notably a stretch of the Roman road,
Rykneld Street, crossing the east of the parish. From the end of the 16th century until 1920,
the Hunlokes were the dominant family in the settlement and Wingerworth remained an
estate village with strictly controlled development, with gradual dispersal of the original
settlement away from the church and Hall. The population never exceeded 500 until after
the sale of the Hunloke estate in 1920.
B.119 Up to 1920, the village economy was based largely on mixed farming, but with important
contributions from industry, small-scale at first: in particular, coal and ironstone mining, iron
smelting, red lead manufacture, stone quarrying and woodland exploitation. Larger-scale
coal and ironstone mining started in the mid l9th century at the Avenue and Speighthill pits,
but had ceased altogether by 1930, except for extensive opencast working since the
Second World War. Coke and by-products were made on a large scale at the Avenue site
from 1956 to 1992, using coal brought from elsewhere. The former Avenue Coking Works
are currently being remediated. The site is earmarked for mixed-use redevelopment.
Woolley Moor
B.120 Woolley Moor is a small compact settlement located approximately 3 km south west of Clay
Cross. It is characterised by a mix of modern and old, individual, detached properties. The
settlement is dominated by nearby Ogston Reservoir.
B.121 Although the village of Woolley has existed since medieval times, the present settlement of
Woolley Moor is very different from the one that existed before the construction of Ogston
Reservoir in 1958. Properties in the original village of Woolley were demolished and the
valley flooded to create the reservoir, in order to meet water requirements of the National
Coal Board Carbonisation Plant at Wingerworth. The villagers were relocated into council
houses built in another local hamlet, Badger Lane, which eventually became known as the
village of Woolley on the Moor (now Woolley Moor).
Conclusion
B.122 The District’s settlements have grown and evolved over time, reflecting changes associated
with occupations such as mining and agriculture. Some are closely knit, whilst others have
a looser feel and appearance. Some are mainly characterised by older properties, whilst
others have been influenced by substantial post war development. The way in which they
have evolved contributes to the unique character of the District.
