EspañolNEWHALL, DERBYSHIRE
(Redirected from Stanton, Derbyshire)
'Newhall' is a village located in South Derbyshire, England. The village of Stanton is nearby and in the same parish.
The village lies between the A444 to the south and the A511 to the north. To the East is the market town of Ashby-De-La-Zouch, very close to the M42 linking Nottingham (NE) and Birmingham (SW). Burton upon Trent is to the west with the A38 heading south to Lichfield and north for Derby and the M1. Slightly further north is the A50 linking the Stoke-on-Trent and the M6 motorway (East) one way and the M1 and Leicestershire (West) the other. It is geographically well placed for the major road network in all directions.
Swadlincote is the closest town. There are regular buses linking Burton upon Trent to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (the number 8 service) or Swadlincote to Burton upon Trent (the 3, 3A, & 3E services)
The nearest station is in Burton upon Trent (Midland Mainline) servicing Birmingham New St, Nottingham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Hereford and Bristol.
It has been written that at one time there were over 50 places to drink in Newhall. One careful researcher has listed over thirty of them[1].
It has been calculated that in 1971, Newhall was the centre of population for Great Britain. It was first calculated as being at Rodsley in 1901 and has spread south to be at Appleby Magna by the year 2000[2].
The parish incorporates Stanton. Stanton is very small and is to the south west of Newhall near the A444. It is clearly separate from Newhall. The Repton parish borders the north, a section of Stapenhill parish is to the northwest, Linton parish is east and south with Church Gresley parish covering a small southern area. Swadlincote Parish is southwest and finally Midway parish links the northeast back up to Repton. Unlike Stanton, Newhall merges into Swadlincote and Midway. Roads define the parish boundaries.
The population is around 7300 (2001) A similar number for Midway and about a thousand less for Swadlincote.
St Johns Methodist Church is just off High St. Stanton Methodist Church is on Park Rd at the junction of the A444. St Peters and St Paul’s Catholic Church is just inside the Swadlincote Parish. High St becomes Union Rd and at the junction of Darklands Rd it becomes Newhall Rd. It is here also, that St Edwards Catholic Primary school and Catholic club are found.
The John Nike Leisure complex is less than 2 miles away. It has a dry ski slope for all year round boarding, skiing and tobogganing.
The Swadlincote Rifle & Pistol Club is off Park Rd towards Newhall on the left as you come in to the village from the A444. It caters for .22 Target & Sporting Rifles, Pistol Calibre Centrefire Rifles, Black Powder Pistols, Black Powder Rifles, Black Powder Muskets, Air Rifles (Match & Sporting), Air Pistols and C02 Pistols, Practical Shotgun, Match, Field and Sporting Crossbow, Match & Sporting Longbow. There are 5 outdoor ranges: (1) 100 metres (15 firing point) for .22, black powder & pistol calibre rifles. (2) 50 metres (4 firing point) for as above plus black powder pistols. (3) 25 metres (15 firing point) for as above plus precision air pistol. (4) 25 metres (9 firing point) for as above plus police pistol disciplines. (5) 60 metres (8 firing point) for crossbow disciplines plus archery. There is also a 10 metre (10 firing point) indoor airgun range. It is very isolated and resides in a large dip so there is no noise pollution to the village and surrounding areas.
The Newhall Band (Originally the St Johns Church Band circa 1860) practices at the Newhall Labour Club in High St. It achieved championship status in 1971. The Labour club was originally the local coffin makers and undertakers.
Newhall Social Club is on the same street but opposite heading towards the centre of Newhall.
The Old Post community centre, on High Street opened in 2002 with learning facilities, meeting rooms and a café is located in the main village. It was an old coaching inn and one of the rooms in the centre used to be used as the stables for the post horses which were changed on the way to Burton upon Trent.
Benjamin Warren, an England international footballer, was born here in 1879.[3]
Jean (Emmeline) Hanson, Professor of Biology at the University of London, was born in Newhall in 1919.[4]
