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.
Factoids
|
|
Nottingham
Road Cemetery, with it's two mortuary chapels, the cemetery opened in 1855,
there are Cemetery's on both sides of the road, the pictures above left and
right are the main entrance, whilst above centre is the one opposite |
 |
 |
This side of
the cemetery contains the largest memorials and also large family plots, a few
are shown here, with the angel above haloed against the sun, the rear of
the lodge is on the left |
|
Whilst above
left was the other former Esso site, which is
now Motor World, this site has also been an electrical appliance shop amongst
others |
|
The main
shopping area for Chaddesden, on Nottingham Road, most needs are catered for
here, it's ironic that with all the controversy of Post Office closures, there
are two within 10minutes walking distance! |
|
Above left
and right is the former Chaddesden Park Hotel, which eventually became the
beau Brummel and more recently a Toby Carvery. Opposite on the right is the
former Ma Murfins general store, she never closed and always greeted you
with a smile, it's now a Garden Centre shop, Oaktree Day Nursery on Reginald
Road is below left |
 |
 |
|
Two views of
Cherry Tree Post Office / Floral Creations, this is a very
well known florist and the small vintage trade mark van can be
seen delivering all over the city. Above left was the shop in
1988 and above right a few years later in 2002 |
|
A little
further up the road towards Raynesway we have this curious stone in front of
the bungalows, this is the memorial to Enoch Stone. A road is also named after
him around the corner. The story goes; On Monday June 23rd 1856 the night of
the anniversary fete of the Arboretum, a dreadful murder was committed near
Derby, Enoch Stone, of Spondon was battered to death. Enoch Stone was a local
musician and a very quiet man who was also slightly lame. |
 |
 |
|
This atrocity happened on the Turnpike beyond the Butter
Factory, the turnpike being Derby Road and the butter factory is
where the Olde Creamery now stands, (shown above
right.) The simple stone memorial was placed here by Enoch Stones
friends, and the perpetrators of this wicked crime were never
found. |
