Rother is an electoral ward in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, lying to the north of the town centre and taking its name from the nearby River Rother. The ward combines residential streets, pockets of green space and some light industrial and commercial sites, giving it a suburban feel with ready access to the amenities of Chesterfield including the market and the town’s well‑known spire.
Historically the area shares Chesterfield’s industrial past - coal, rail and manufacturing shaped local communities - and while heavy industry has declined that heritage is still visible in former works and terrace housing. Today the ward has a mixed population with active community groups, local schools and good commuting links into nearby cities such as Sheffield and Derby, so it blends a strong local identity with easy access to wider employment and leisure opportunities.
