Mafiabob Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The buses to Mickleover have leather seats. That tells you a lot. So have Sinfin to balance the argument.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So have Sinfin to balance the argument....really? That's knocked Mickleover down from its transport pedestal in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@M Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i've always wanted to go to zing vaa in littleover village My favourite Chinese/Cantonese. Aspired to it as my parents used it in the early 90's. Salt and pepper pork with extra chillies followed by duck of some sort. Am now hundreds of miles away, and owing to the fact they didn't even deliver round the corner, don't fancy my chances of getting anything for a while. Always wanted to go on a proper night out in Belper. No point now I'm married! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Never lived in Derby so feel left out of this.... Dad used to take us to visit relatives in Allestree when i was a kid, I always thought that was the poshest place but i suppose Park Farm put paid to that! When you read about Derby's history its hard to imagine that Normanton/Rose Hill would have been one of the most desirable areas 200 years ago. The Arboretum was the first public park in Britain, laid out by Joseph Strutt in 1840...it would have been a real treat for the working class of Derby to have a beautiful space to visit so close to the town centre, 25,000 people turned out for the opening.... Good description of the event and subsequent history here............ http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/features/tours/parks/derby/arboretum_history.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Mind you, forest would have took 40,000...... (roadworks permitting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I tend to avoid Allenton, Normanton and Alvaston. I needed a stiff drink and to hold my wife's hand just looking at these places on Google maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Allestree is best in my opinion and Normanton worst. I've never been to Sinfin and Chellaston. Am I missing owt? P.s. Belper rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ive lived in Chellaston 15 out of my 17 years of life (first 2 in Alvaston ) Youre missing out on nothing special! I suggest you just drive through when you are near! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Ive lived in Chellaston 15 out of my 17 years of life (first 2 in Alvaston ) Youre missing out on nothing special! I suggest you just drive through when you are near! Chellaston went downhil when they shut the Red lion. I used to drink in all the pubs up there but none had the room for a proper fight like the Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
