Local Area

Ironville in Derbyshire, England, was built about 1830 by the Butterley Company as a “model village” to house its workers.

This workforce were employed to run and operate the enormous Codnor Park Ironworks / Forge. The forge made colossal high quality wrought iron items like St Pancras Station or Vauxhall bridge over the Thames.

The population of the civil parish was 1,851 at the 2011 Census.[2] It is situated between Riddings and Codnor Park.

The village was notable for its large gardens for each house and its rural setting. The impressive Mechanics Institute was built in 1846; schools were provided in 1850 and an attractive stone built parish church in 1852.
