Derby, also known as the 'warm hearted' and a compact city at
the centre of England is full of history and art and holds a
great appeal for those visitors who are in search of unspoilt
tradition and character. It is the only city in England to be
given its name by the Danes. If it weren't for the Vikings invading
in AD874 the name would have been Northworthy .
The city lies in the East Midlands of England on the banks of
the River Derwent surrounded by the shire county of Derbyshire
and is the 18th largest settlement in England. The city of Derby
was awarded its charter in 1977, the year of the Queen's Silver
Jubilee and is a mix of modernity and the traditional ways.
The county is famous for its Sheep farming. Derbyshire boasts
some of the finest country houses in England, among them Chatsworth
House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.
Being a product of the industrial revolution, the city is important
historically because of its links with the beginnings of the
Industrial Revolution: Derby had the first-ever factory in England,
the Silk Mill, built in 1702. Now that is Derby Industrial
Museum and part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
The city has a rich and varied past, one that is world-renowned
still today. It is constantly developing and moving with the
times, a vibrant central hub from which to explore the rest
of the county from.

and more up to date industry information. Art lovers visiting
the Derbyshire area should definitely pay a visit to the Derby
Museum and Art Gallery. One magnificent piece of architecture
