Staveley is a town and civil parish in the borough of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, lying beside the River Rother and just a few miles from the western edge of the Peak District. Good road links, including the nearby M1, make it convenient for commuters, while green spaces and heritage sites such as Poolsbrook Country Park and the preserved Barrow Hill Roundhouse add recreational and historical interest.
Historically built around coal mining and heavy industry - with notable iron and chemical works - Staveley has been reshaped by post‑industrial regeneration, now hosting business parks, retail areas and community projects. The town retains a strong local identity rooted in its mining past, evident in social clubs, sports teams and civic events, giving it a blend of working‑class heritage and quieter residential life.
