Introduction

Ticknall, South Derbyshire, is a small, attractive and peaceful place. It has three pubs, several small businesses, a re-opened village shop and an independent primary school.

Two hundred years ago it was considerably larger and noisier with lime quarries, tramways and potteries. Coal was also dug close to the village.

Ticknall was an estate village to Calke Abbey until about 30 years ago and this has prevented it from becoming a mundane dormitory village for commuters.
