| Smalley village in Derbyshire has a reputation as a clean and attractive place with some well kept village gardens. It is situated 6 miles north east of Derby and mostly straddles along the Derby to Heanor road, though there has been an estate off the main road, here for some time.
There is a strong sense of community spirit in Smalley, helped by the fact that it still retains its village school, has a church, a hall, several shops and 2 pubs in the village itself and one on the outskirts.
The Smalley Dam was created at the end of the 18th century by John Redford, of nearby Smalley Hall, the High Sheriff of Derbyshire. During the 20th century it became silted up after years of neglect. The Smalley Community Project took on the task of its restoration and removing of silt. Gradually the area, presented by its owner to the village in 1990, became an amenity to be enjoyed by all who appreciate the countryside. |
