The Derby Directory

Derby, Derbyshire

Derby’s River Derwent setting links the Cathedral Quarter and Market Place with the former silk mill, now the Museum of Making. The Derby Directory connects local businesses across a city whose industrial identity includes aero engines, railway manufacturing and Royal Crown Derby china. Its coverage reaches Allestree, Mickleover, Littleover, Spondon, Chaddesden and Duffield, bringing neighbourhood services together with the city centre and nearby Derwent Valley communities. The directory offers category and area searches for shops, trades, food businesses, health services and local groups. Businesses can submit a free standard profile with their description, services, website, contact options and a photograph or logo. Submissions are reviewed before publication, with an optional FastTrack + Featured upgrade for priority review and more prominent placement. Guides cover attractions, community contacts and shopping around Derbion, the Cathedral Quarter and Market Hall. The rolling What’s On page adds dated events and organiser links, alongside a guide to local business promotion. Owners can keep their information current through an emailed edit link, while visitors contact businesses directly without a directory commission.
