About

Swadlincote ward encompasses the main town and its immediate surrounding neighbourhoods in South Derbyshire. The area's landscape is shaped by its industrial past, with former clay pits and kiln sites now integrated into the green spaces that border the urban centre. Residential streets extend outwards, featuring a mix of housing types from different periods. The town centre serves as a commercial and civic hub for the wider district.

A notable legacy is the presence of the Sharpe's Pottery Museum, housed in a restored Victorian bottle kiln works. This reflects the area's historical identity tied to the ceramic and earthenware industries. Local geography includes the course of the Gilwiskaw Brook, which flows through parts of the ward. The area is connected to the National Forest, with plantings on reclaimed land contributing to its changing character.
