Derby is situated in the East Midlands and also on the edge of the Peak District National Park.  The town is famous for Britain’s Industrial Revolution which houses some of the countries first factories and spinning mills.  Well known factories include Rolls Royce, Royal Crown Derby and Railway engineering.

It is now a bustling and thriving city which boasts an excellent range of enter entertainment venues, attractions, pubs, restaurants and parks.  Most of the city centre is now pedestrianised making it a much safer place to shop.

There is £300 million being spent on redevelopment which will completely regenerate the southern part of Derby city centre, bringing with it 732, 000 square feet of new retail space and an estimated 2,850 jobs. It will house over 100 new shops, a food court that will be capable of seating 800 people and 2,000 more parking spaces.

At the foot of Iron Gate is Market Hall which houses an indoor market (open Mon-Sat) selling clothes, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and sweets. Enter by passing under the Guildhall clock from Market Place. A farmers' market is held in Market Place on the third Thursday of every month and the section between Albion Street and the bus station is also a vibrant market area where stallholders peddle individual, often handmade wares.

If you have had an accident in or around the Derby area you may be entitled to no win no fee claim compensation.  As long as the accident was the result of another person or organisation then you could be entitled to a sum of damages.  The amount you receive will depend on the severity of the accident and the amount of suffering you went though.  Also taken into consideration is the amount of money lost through lack of earnings or trips to the hospital.
