Two Derby Headlines



East Midlands city named worst place for a short break in the UK

Cities like London, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, and Manchester each offer a distinct urban vibe on a grand scale, while Oxford, Bath, Lancaster, and York cater to those with a passion for history.

However, recent research by Which? has highlighted one city that's been singled out for less flattering reasons. Labelled as "rundown" and even a "dump," Derby has been named the least appealing destination for a short break in the UK.


Customer stabbed to death in city centre bank

Two men have been arrested after a customer was stabbed to death in a city centre bank.

The customer, aged in his 30s, was assaulted inside the Lloyds bank in St Peter's Street in Derby at about 14:30 BST on Tuesday, police said.

  1. Apparently the city is noted for its ram raiders.

  2. I hadn't realised that Derby counted as East Midlands. But then it must be many a decade since I looked at a map of the Midlands.

  3. dearieme - it feels more central than east or west, a long way from any coast.
