At the top of Derwent Street stands the Council House on one corner and on the other is the former Magistrates courts, and Police Station, these buildings were designed by the Borough Architect, C.H Aslin, as part of the County Borough of Derby Central Improvement Scheme of 1929, and the Scheme didn't get completed until after the Second World War. 

This picture opposite was taken in 1990 and was taken looking down Derwent Street towards the market place, the Council House is on the left, the white boarding you can see in the foreground is where the infamous Derby Hotel was being constructed, but it only got as far as a large hole!

These three pictures show the new £14m apartment development at the old Eggleston Brothers premises, in Stuart Street, which overlooks the River Derwent. The developer Derby City Living Ltd, of Ashbourne, has bought the 0.73-acre site from the steel stockholder, which has recently moved to larger premises on Alfreton Road.

Derby City Living Ltd plans to build two buildings with a total of 76 luxury apartments between them.

Eggleston's have been in the city centre since the business started in 1809
