Derby, England
Roundabout Central, Rams Division
"Where the A38 meets its match"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a Rolls-Royce jet engine rampant, flanked by two roundabout arrows pointing in contradictory directions, beneath a rain cloud that never quite commits to actually raining. The motto beneath reads 'Industrious, Yet Perpetually Rerouted.'
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came for the Cathedral Quarter, stayed because I got stuck in traffic near the Spaghetti Junction-adjacent roundabouts for 45 minutes. The Silk Mill museum was genuinely lovely and Derby County's ground has real character, but the city centre feels like it can't decide if it's a market town or a car manufacturing hub. Toad's bakery was excellent though, give credit where due. Would visit again but I'd bring a book for the traffic."— Gary Wheelspin, Nottingham
Property Listing
A CHARMING city centre terrace, moments from the vibrant Cathedral Quarter and within easy striking distance of not one but THREE major roundabout systems for the discerning commuter! Original Victorian features, a nearby Derby County pub for match days, and you're perfectly positioned between Nottingham and Sheffield for whenever you fancy leaving.
Twinned With
Stuttgart — Both cities quietly built entire identities around being really, really good at making engines nobody outside the trade appreciates enough.
Supporting Evidence
Derby is home to the world's first factory, the Silk Mill built in 1721, and to Rolls-Royce's aerospace headquarters, making it arguably the birthplace of both the industrial revolution and extremely expensive jet engines.
