Chellaston and Shelton Lock sit on the south-eastern edge of Derby in England, with a mixed character that ranges from an old village core to suburban housing estates. Shelton Lock fronts the Trent and Mersey Canal and is close to the River Derwent, so canal-side walks and green corridors are a notable feature of the local geography.
There’s a tangible sense of history - Chellaston retains its parish church, All Saints' Church, and reminders of the area’s transport and industrial past along the waterways - while today it functions largely as a residential community. Many people commute to nearby employers in the south of the city, including the manufacturing sites around Burnaston and Sinfin, and the neighbourhood supports a tight-knit local scene with schools, small shops and community events.
