Spondon Derbyshire Map

About Spondon

The gentle curve of the River Derwent whispers past Spondon. It lies 4.7 km east of Derby (from Derby: bearing 97°T, OS grid SK 398 359), and is situated north-west of Borrowash village. Once a parish in its own right, its name echoes through centuries, a reminder of its Saxon origins and the ancient landowners who once held sway over these lands. Today, Spondon presents a pleasing blend of residential calm and accessible amenities, its streets catching the soft East Midlands light, a light that seems to linger on the red brick of its older houses. The air here carries a faint, almost imagined, scent of coal smoke from its industrial past, now softened by the green breath of its parks and gardens. The parish church, Old St. Werburgh's, stands as a silent witness, its stone weathered by countless seasons, its spire a familiar point against the sky.
