New Brampton

New Brampton is a suburb of Chesterfield in Derbyshire. It is mostly located along the Chatsworth Road, Old Road and Baslow Road (A619).

The suburb grew out of the expansion of Chesterfield during the Nineteenth century through a combination of industrial development and, as far back as the Nineteenth century, tourism. This is thanks to the fact the Baslow Road leads out into the Peak District, to nearby Baslow and the Beeley Moor, as well as Holymoorside and Chatsworth House. Consequently New Brampton is home to numerous rows of terraced houses on the roads towards Chesterfield town centre, and out towards the Peak District. A considerable part of this area, consists of a combination of shops, Bed & Breakfast, and other businesses.

The suburb has many late-nineteenth century and early to mid-twentieth-century houses, primarily semi-detached and detached, heading out towards Beeley Moor.

The suburb takes its name from Old Brampton, which is further along the A619 towards the Peak District, about 2 miles away.
