- EREWASH PARISH #13: SANDIACRE
Sandiacre in the borough of Erewash is a former market town according to its signs. It stands on the banks of the River Erewash, just within Derbyshire, although it used to be in Nottinghamshire
Don’t be fooled by those signs. This is a large village effectively. The parish council does not have town status but its often referred to as a town by many. After all its big enough!
The origin of the name Sandiacre has been given various interpretations, but the most likely is that it comes from the Saxon "sond" meaning sandy and "oecer" meaning field
We are seven miles West of Nottingham and nine miles East of Derby here and Sandiacre is part of the Greater Nottingham urban area, adjoined by the unparished Long Eaton to the south
Sandiacre was a small, mainly agricultural village until industrialisation of the 19th century, when lace making and other industries became established.
Three substantial lace factories were built in the late 19th century because the increase in the number of lace machines in Nottingham could not be accommodated there.
All lace production in Sandiacre had ceased by the 1990s. Nowadays with its much more residential makeup, this is an ideal place to live if you commute to Derby or Nottingham, with the A52 running right through its boundaries

SANDIACRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
None yet
The Shop you asked about was a Green Grocers for many many years as long as I can remember. It was something else in more recent years but oddly enough I cannot remember that.
I saw the fire from the back garden in Margaret avenue
A village with a Burger King! Is this the biggest village so far?
No, not by a long way. Ecclesfield (Sheffield) is much bigger...and that's got a KFC hahaha
