Chaddesden (recorded in the
Domesday Book as Cedesdene) and is one of Derby's largest suburbs,
it is situated about two and a half miles east of the city. Chad
(as the locals know it) has changed considerable over the years
and is a mixture of private housing and council housing. The
development was started in the 1950's and was needed as
housing for Derby’s West End after the slum clearance schemes.

recognise anyone? |

The other notable church in Chaddesden is
the ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, which is just off
Chaddesden Lane, this was rebuilt sometime around 1357 by the
Archdeacon of Leicester, Henry Chaddesden. In the
church yard is a small mound, where 6 almshouses used to stand,
and were founded by Robert Wilmot. |

Many thanks
to Arthur Pulford who has kindly supplied this postcard of Chaddesden Hall.
showing a Church parade of the Derby Volunteers, his mother was a Wilmot

Many thanks to
John Perkins for supplying these two postcards showing Chaddesden Hall,
the picture above left is taken from Chaddesden Lane, the wall you see is
still standing today, below left, which fronts the houses that were built in
the 1930's.
The picture above right shows the Hall in it's finest, and possibly one of the
original entrance stone posts below right |

There are a few monuments
to the Wilmot family such as the Wilmot Arms Pub on the junction
of Chaddesden Lane and Morley Road, and right next
door is the Wilmot garage.
Below right is the old village
bakehouse on Morley Road |

Jasmine Cottage
above left, a grade II listed building on Chaddesden Lane, this old part of
Chaddesden was the original village area and the land lord was the
Wilmot family, who lived at Chaddesden Hall, which was demolished
in the 1920`s when they sold their estate. The grounds are now
Chaddesden Park which is a well used park, and contain a paddling
pool and children's play area as well as area's for cricket and
golf. |

The Gloria,
built in the art deco style which later became the Esoldo and after that the lucky Seven, which eventually
turned into a Bingo Hall and then finally it was demolished in 2002 for a
supermarket, as shown below. Picture courtesy of John Perkins |
|
There are
numerous shopping centres in the area, and the three largest ones
are on Nottingham Road, Wiltshire Road and at Sussex
Circus. Near to the Nottingham Road centre we have a Aldi store,
the picture on the left shows the site when the old Essoldo /
Lucky Seven cinema was demolished |
|
On Mayfield
Road there are three churches together, a Methodist chapel, a
small chapel and a Jehovah Witness hall, just around the
corner on Roe Farm lane is St Albans, Catholic Church, and not
too far away on Reginald Road we have yet another place of
worship, the United reform church. |
|
This was the residence for the Priest at St Albans Church on
Roe Farm Lane, which has
recently been demolished to make way for a new health centre
and car park. |
 |
 |
|
The local
Co-op is above left, and continues to trade, this store has been going since
the estate opened, other names such as Lathams fish and chip shop, Moons the newsagents and Allsops the general store
used to grace this once thriving precinct |
