North East Derbyshire is a local government district in Derbyshire, England. It borders the districts of Chesterfield, Bolsover, Amber Valley and Derbyshire Dales in Derbyshire, and Sheffield and Rotherham in South Yorkshire.
The district offices are based outside the district, in the town of Chesterfield, which the district surrounds on three sides, and thus acts as the shopping and work centre for much of the district.
Settlements in the district include:
- Arkwright Town, Ashover
- Barlow
- Calow, Clay Cross
- Danesmoor, Dronfield
- Eckington
- Grassmoor
- Holmesfield, Holymoorside, Holmewood
- Killamarsh
- North Wingfield
- Pilsley
- Renishaw, Ridgeway
- Shirland, Spinkhill, Stonebroom
- Tupton
- Wingerworth
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972. It was a merger of the Clay Cross and Dronfield urban districts along with all but one parish of Chesterfield Rural District.
Coal Mining
The district, alond with the district of Bolsover, was a major producer of coal when a large seam was discovered during the building of the Clay Cross railway tunnel. Coal mining became the main industry of the region. During the 1980's the Conservative government closed down many of the mines after a dispute between the government and the Trades Unions, which is known as the miners' strike.
