Derbyshire was born in Coventry, daughter of Emma (née Dawson) and Edward Derbyshire. of Cedars Avenue, Coundon, Coventry. Her father was a sheet-metal worker. She had one sibling, a sister, who died young. Her father died in 1965 and her mother in 1994.
During the Second World War, immediately after the Coventry Blitz in 1940, she was moved to Preston, Lancashire for safety. Her parents had moved from there originally and most of her surviving relatives still live in the area. She was very bright and, by the age of four, was teaching others in her class to read and write in primary school, but said "The radio was my education". Her parents bought her a piano when she was eight years old. Educated at Barr's Hill Grammar School from 1948 to 1956, she was accepted at both Oxford and Cambridge, "quite something for a working class girl in the 'fifties, where only one in 10 [students] were female", winning a scholarship to study mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge but, apart from some success in the mathematical theory of electricity, she claims she did badly. After one year at Cambridge she switched to music, graduating in 1959 with a BA in mathematics and music, having specialised in medieval and modern music history. Her other principal qualification was LRAM in pianoforte.
Derbyshire (i/ˈdɑːrbᵻʃər/ or /ˈdɑːrbɪʃɪər/; abbreviated Derbys. or Derbs.) is a county in the East Midlands of England. A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire. The southern extremity of the Pennine range of hills extends into the north of the county. The county contains part of the National Forest, and borders on Greater Manchester to the northwest, West Yorkshire to the north, South Yorkshire to the northeast, Nottinghamshire to the east, Leicestershire to the southeast, Staffordshire to the west and southwest and Cheshire also to the west.
Kinder Scout, at 636 metres (2,087ft), is the highest point in the county, whilst Trent Meadows, where the River Trent leaves Derbyshire, is its lowest point at 27 metres (89ft). The River Derwent is the county's longest river at 66 miles (106km), and runs roughly north to south through the county. In 2003 the Ordnance Survey placed Church Flatts Farm at Coton in the Elms (near Swadlincote) as the furthest point from the sea in Great Britain.

The Tragedy of the MV Derbyshire
One of the most tragic losses in British maritime history, and the largest British vessel ever to be sunk, the MV Derbyshire was a gigantic but severely flawed bulk carrier that disappeared during Typhoon Orchid in the South China Sea on September 9th, 1980.
In this video, we will examine the history of the Derbyshire and the shipping line for which it was built, and how a flawed design and outdated, inaccurate work practices, combined with the worst of nature's fury, helped to bring down what many considered to be a ship too large to sink, and how its loss ultimately helped to improve the quality of shipbuilding in the future.

Where are the worst places to live in Derbyshire? The county of Derbyshire is lovely and lovable. That is why many people love the county with its wonderful countryside. Not only that, it also has a lot of ancient landmarks and picturesque towns. The country in the middle of England has regions that boast great connections to the largest cities in the United Kingdom whilst many of its residents delight in its rural lifestyle, particularly in and around the county’s illustrious Peak District National Park. However, many people living in some of the region's towns have called out Derbyshire, claiming that those towns are the worst places to live. In this video, we look at those 8 towns considered the place to live in Derbyshire. Please enjoy the video.
8. New Mills
This New Mills, which is a town in the Borough of High Peak in the county is the best place to start from. The town 13 kilometres southeast of Stockport and 21 kilometres from Manchester, located at the confluence of rivers Goyt and Sett, is close to the border with Cheshire and the Torrs.
Now, let’s take a trip to New Mills. Such a trip may also be described as a trip through New Mills. The town isn’t really too good. Some have actually described it as a dump. It used to be so bad that the Council had to divide New Mills into two sub-regions, East and West. You need to know something about this: New Mills is a northern town. And don’t forget also that the name suggests, the town was a cotton-spinning town with remarkable links to Manchester on its two railway lines.
Well, the town has a bus station and a bus roundabout with some random worn-out benches thrown around. It also has a staggering 13 public houses which is rather grossly insufficient for its population of 12,000. They also have two supermarkets for supposedly poor people.
7. Pinxton
This is a village nestled on the border, western boundary of between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Pinxton is also a civil parish in Derbyshire just south of the Pinxton Interchange located at Junction 28 of the M1 motorway. That’s where the A38 road meets the M1. This town is also part of the Bolsover District with a population of 5,652, according to the 2021 Census. The town derives some euphoria from its Pinxton Football Club based at The Welfare Ground. It also has four secondary schools.
But then, the village is one of the worst places to live in Derbyshire because it has become the centre of a mystery that has remained unresolved for decades. This is what has thrust it into the national spotlight. Not long ago, Nottinghamshire Police reported that human remains were found in Coxmoor Road, Sutton in Ashfield. It’s not an isolated case, however. We can’t forget in haste the remains of Pinxton miner Alfred Swinscoe who disappeared 56 years ago.
6. Bakewell
The next town is Bakewell, the market town and civil parish regarded by its critics as “The traffic Tokyo of England.” Bakewell is known for its Bakewell pudding. The town lying on the River Wye is 21 kilometres south-west of Sheffield. In 2019, the estimated population of Bakewell was 3,695. Is it fair to describe the town as the “traffic Tokyo of England”?
Well, as you are driving into the town, perhaps on a public holiday or weekend, and crossing the beautiful Victorian bridge and entering the town centre, you may be losing daylight and may have to turn around, hence going back through the traffic in Tokyo of England. Kids are taught from childhood to ignore motorists. Such kids are accustomed to barging into any sweet shop or confectionary counter to indulge themselves without any recourse to safety on the road. Even 5-year-olds nicking some freshener or confectionary counter are carefree.
However, we find something so good about this town. It’s home to the world-famous Bakewell Tart. Its Peak District serves up an array of delicious food and drinks courtesy of its many outstanding eateries.
5. Shirebrook
The next one of the 10 worst places to live in Derbyshire is Shirebrook, a town in the Bolsover district in Derbyshire.

One of the most tragic losses in British maritime history, and the largest British vessel ever to be sunk, the MV Derbyshire was a gigantic but severely flawed bulk carrier that disappeared during Typhoon Orchid in the South China Sea on September 9th, 1980.
In this video, we will examine the history of the Derbyshire and the shipping line for which it was built, and how a flawed design and outdated, inaccurate work practices, combined with the worst of nature's fury, helped to bring down what many considered to be a ship too large to sink, and how its loss ultimately helped to improve the quality of shipbuilding in the future.

Victoria Derbyshire speaks to Brian Glenn, Chief White House Correspondent for Real America's Voice and the man who asked President Zelensky why he doesn't wear a suit during the tense meeting with President Trump at the Oval Office. He tells Newsnight about the public response to his question and discusses the possible peace deals to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Where are the worst places to live in Derbyshire? The county of Derbyshire is lovely and lovable. That is why many people love the county with its wonderful countryside. Not only that, it also has a lot of ancient landmarks and picturesque towns. The country in the middle of England has regions that boast great connections to the largest cities in the United Kingdom whilst many of its residents delight in its rural lifestyle, particularly in and around the county’s illustrious Peak District National Park. However, many people living in some of the region's towns have called out Derbyshire, claiming that those towns are the worst places to live. In this video, we look at those 8 towns considered the place to live in Derbyshire. Please enjoy the video.
8. New Mills
This New Mills, which is a town in the Borough of High Peak in the county is the best place to start from. The town 13 kilometres southeast of Stockport and 21 kilometres from Manchester, located at the confluence of rivers Goyt and Sett, is close to the border with Cheshire and the Torrs.
Now, let’s take a trip to New Mills. Such a trip may also be described as a trip through New Mills. The town isn’t really too good. Some have actually described it as a dump. It used to be so bad that the Council had to divide New Mills into two sub-regions, East and West. You need to know something about this: New Mills is a northern town. And don’t forget also that the name suggests, the town was a cotton-spinning town with remarkable links to Manchester on its two railway lines.
Well, the town has a bus station and a bus roundabout with some random worn-out benches thrown around. It also has a staggering 13 public houses which is rather grossly insufficient for its population of 12,000. They also have two supermarkets for supposedly poor people.
7. Pinxton
This is a village nestled on the border, western boundary of between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Pinxton is also a civil parish in Derbyshire just south of the Pinxton Interchange located at Junction 28 of the M1 motorway. That’s where the A38 road meets the M1. This town is also part of the Bolsover District with a population of 5,652, according to the 2021 Census. The town derives some euphoria from its Pinxton Football Club based at The Welfare Ground. It also has four secondary schools.
But then, the village is one of the worst places to live in Derbyshire because it has become the centre of a mystery that has remained unresolved for decades. This is what has thrust it into the national spotlight. Not long ago, Nottinghamshire Police reported that human remains were found in Coxmoor Road, Sutton in Ashfield. It’s not an isolated case, however. We can’t forget in haste the remains of Pinxton miner Alfred Swinscoe who disappeared 56 years ago.
6. Bakewell
The next town is Bakewell, the market town and civil parish regarded by its critics as “The traffic Tokyo of England.” Bakewell is known for its Bakewell pudding. The town lying on the River Wye is 21 kilometres south-west of Sheffield. In 2019, the estimated population of Bakewell was 3,695. Is it fair to describe the town as the “traffic Tokyo of England”?
Well, as you are driving into the town, perhaps on a public holiday or weekend, and crossing the beautiful Victorian bridge and entering the town centre, you may be losing daylight and may have to turn around, hence going back through the traffic in Tokyo of England. Kids are taught from childhood to ignore motorists. Such kids are accustomed to barging into any sweet shop or confectionary counter to indulge themselves without any recourse to safety on the road. Even 5-year-olds nicking some freshener or confectionary counter are carefree.
However, we find something so good about this town. It’s home to the world-famous Bakewell Tart. Its Peak District serves up an array of delicious food and drinks courtesy of its many outstanding eateries.
5. Shirebrook
The next one of the 10 worst places to live in Derbyshire is Shirebrook, a town in the Bolsover district in Derbyshire.

One of the most tragic losses in British maritime history, and the largest British vessel ever to be sunk, the MV Derbyshire was a gigantic but severely flawed bulk carrier that disappeared during Typhoon Orchid in the South China Sea on September 9th, 1980.
In this video, we will examine the history of the Derbyshire and the shipping line for which it was built, and how a flawed design and outdated, inaccurate work practices, combined with the worst of nature's fury, helped to bring down what many considered to be a ship too large to sink, and how its loss ultimately helped to improve the quality of shipbuilding in the future.

A little bit of winter magic in the village of Castleton in Derbyshire, The Peak District.
#short #shorts #winter #winterwonderland #nature #naturelovers #snow #snowfall #peakdistrict
Derbyshire was born in Coventry, daughter of Emma (née Dawson) and Edward Derbyshire. of Cedars Avenue, Coundon, Coventry. Her father was a sheet-metal worker. She had one sibling, a sister, who died young. Her father died in 1965 and her mother in 1994.
During the Second World War, immediately after the Coventry Blitz in 1940, she was moved to Preston, Lancashire for safety. Her parents had moved from there originally and most of her surviving relatives still live in the area. She was very bright and, by the age of four, was teaching others in her class to read and write in primary school, but said "The radio was my education". Her parents bought her a piano when she was eight years old. Educated at Barr's Hill Grammar School from 1948 to 1956, she was accepted at both Oxford and Cambridge, "quite something for a working class girl in the 'fifties, where only one in 10 [students] were female", winning a scholarship to study mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge but, apart from some success in the mathematical theory of electricity, she claims she did badly. After one year at Cambridge she switched to music, graduating in 1959 with a BA in mathematics and music, having specialised in medieval and modern music history. Her other principal qualification was LRAM in pianoforte.
