SINFIN

The shopping centre near ASDA

'Sinfin' is now a southern suburb of Derby, but historically it was a separate village. It contains both the main centre of Rolls-Royce, on Nightingale Road, and the housing developments of new Sinfin, which merge imperceptibly with those at Stenson Fields, over the city boundary.
