Stapleford
in Nottinghamshire is located in the Erewash valley,
close to the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border and approximately
halfway between Derby and Nottingham.
The name Stapleford is thought to originate
from 'the post by the ford', so it is not surprising that it is
a common English place name and there are thought to be some 17
Staplefords across the country.
During the 20th
century Stapleford developed from a village, with a farm
at the crossroads marking the village centre, to a small
industrial town,
but the late 20th century saw much de-industrialisation. In recent
years however, re-generation of Stapleford has been prominent
and we have over 200 businesses listed in the Business
Index on this website and are still adding more.
Stapleford is
near the geographic centre of England & Wales and at the modern
hub of the country's transport network. The
M1 motorway, main railway line, river and canal are all within
a few miles, as is the
East Midlands Airport, and major new developments are planned
for the
railway and
Nottingham Tram networks.
Stapleford is a friendly
'close-knit' community-based town and is surrounded by countryside.
You can see green fields and trees from most
streets in the town with the Erewash Canal and River forming
the western boundary. If you are considering
