Chellaston East

Chellaston East sits on the southern fringe of Derby, forming the eastern portion of the Chellaston suburb. The area combines the old village core with later suburban housing laid out on former agricultural land. Local services concentrate along a short high street and include convenience shops, takeaways, primary schools and the larger secondary school, Chellaston Academy. Parks and playing fields thread through the neighbourhood and provide outdoor space for sports and walking, while short residential streets give way to longer routes linking to the rest of the ward.

Transport is based on local buses and a network of roads that connect directly to Derby city centre and to nearby routes beyond. Community activity gathers at the village hall, sports clubs and church groups; the village’s origins are visible in the way older lanes curve around where the green once sat. Recent housing on the eastern boundary has expanded the residential mix and created pockets of infill between established streets, so the area shows a clear sequence of village, post‑war and modern development.
