Here is a big one with some 6,500 people living in it, in North East Derbyshire. It has a connection, albeit very tenous to the East Riding of Yorkshire in the form of a paddle-wheel ferry, launched in 1934. Since the coming of the coal and engineering Industries, nearly 3.000 homes have been built here, and it’s still expanding even now.
This one has two buildings which act like village halls. The first, and much larger of the two is the Community Resource Centre, a multi-purpose venue on Whiteleas Avenue, whilst Hepthorne Lane Community Centre is a much smaller venue located on New Street in the Hepthorne Lane area - one of the former farming hamlets that amalgamated to form the village we know today.
The original village centre was situated around the White Hart and Bright Street which is now a designated conservation area. Elm Farm (aka The Elms) is a Grade II listed house located on Bright Street. It was built by the Clay family around 1720. One of it's former owners was a Mr Joseph Bright, and that is where the name Bright Street comes from
The Green here is mentioned in the Magna Carta. King John, gave The Green something known as a “Kings protection”. This is where stocks were displayed in the early 14th century. Today, it is still a protected piece of land and is maintained by a team of three men. The main village war memorial is just over the way from the central monument which in itself is very interesting.
That said, this one’s loaded with things and it’s well worthy of it’s 20 minutes or so. This is NORTH WINGFIELD.
