Osmaston Road

This road is named because it was the route from the town to Osmaston. It is one of the cities ancient roads and was originally the trackway that ran from Swarkestone to the Upper Derwent Valley. Today it is a mix of flats and retail. The W.E. Savage building has been closed and looked exactly as it does now for as long as I can remember

Queen Street

Reputedly the cities oldest public house, the Dolphin, below, was first licensed in 1530 as a coaching inn, possibly serving as a stopping off point for highwaymen. The corridor running through the ground floor was once a Derby street. Numerous ghosts are said to occupy the building and it features in the local city ghost walks. A more detailed write up on this pub will be found in the section on Pubs and Inns once I have written it
