Pye Bridge is a small village in the borough of Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England, lying close to Alfreton and the border with Nottinghamshire. It grew up around a railway junction on the Erewash Valley Line, and the traces of the old station and sidings are a reminder of its transport role in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The locality has strong historic links to coal mining and light industry, with canals and railways once serving collieries and factories; the nearby Erewash Canal and surrounding countryside now offer walks and heritage interest. Today Pye Bridge feels like a compact community that mixes commuter households with vestiges of its industrial past, while nearby towns provide shops and amenities.
