Chapters: Derby, de Postcode Area. Excerpt: Derby (pronounced /d:bi/ ( listen), DAA-bi ), is a city and unitary authority in the East Midlands region of England. It lies upon the banks of the River Derwent and is located in the south of the ceremonial county of Derbyshire. In the 2001 census, the population of the city was 233,700, whilst that of the Derby Urban Area was 229,407. According to the 2001 census, Derby was at that time the 18th largest settlement in England, measured by urban area. History Origins The tower of Derby Cathedral. The city has Roman, Saxon and Viking connections. Derby recently celebrated its 2,000th year as a settlement. The Roman camp of 'Derventio' was probably at Little Chester/Chester Green (grid reference SK353375); The site of the old Roman fort is at Chester Green. Later the town was one of the 'Five Boroughs ' (fortified towns) of the Danelaw. The popular belief is that the name 'Derby' is a corruption of the Danish and Gaelic Djúra-bý , recorded in Anglo-Saxon as Deoraby "Village of the Deer". However some assert that it is a corruption of the original Roman name 'Derventio'. The town appears as 'Darby' or 'Darbye' on early modern maps, such as that of Speed (1610).Modern research (2004) into the history and archaeology of Derby has provided evidence that the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons probably co-existed, occupying two areas of land surrounded by water. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (c. 900) says that "Derby is divided by water". These areas of land were known as Norþworþig ("Northworthy", = "north enclosure") and Deoraby, and were at the "Irongate" (north) side of Derby. 16th century - 18th century During the Civil War of 1642-1646, Derby was garrisoned by Parliamentary troops commanded by Sir John Gell, 1st Baronet, Books, , Derby~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Derby, Books Llc, 1156440262, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
