Boulton

Boulton sits to the south‑east of Derby city centre and began as a small village before becoming part of the city’s suburban fabric. The street pattern still shows that origin, with Boulton Lane running through the older core and linking newer housing areas. The neighbourhood includes a mix of terraces, semi‑detached houses and pockets of post‑war development, plus local shops, a primary school and a community centre that serve daily needs. Regular bus services connect the area with central Derby and other suburbs.

Green space plays a visible role in local life: Boulton Moor lies close by and provides fields and paths used for walking and informal recreation. Community allotments and small playing fields sit alongside residential streets, and local groups use the hall and schools for events and activities. Everyday character is shaped by these practical amenities and by the pattern of lanes and housing that reflects Boulton’s evolution from village to suburb.
