About

Aston ward is a rural area in South Derbyshire, characterised by a collection of small villages and hamlets, including Aston-on-Trent, Weston-on-Trent, and Shardlow. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with open fields and the River Trent forming a significant part of its eastern boundary. The Trent and Mersey Canal also runs through the ward, historically linking it to wider trade networks.

The settlement pattern is dispersed, with a focus on farming and residential life rather than concentrated industry. The area includes the notable location of Shardlow, known for its well-preserved historic wharves and warehouses from its time as a major inland port. This canal-side heritage remains a defining aspect of the local environment and community structure.
