Whittington sits to the north of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England, originally formed from the adjoining villages of Old Whittington and New Whittington. The area mixes suburban streets and Victorian terraces with pockets of open countryside; its 19th-century growth was shaped by coal mining and ironworking, leaving a modest industrial heritage visible in local buildings and landscape features, and offering convenient access towards the Peak District.
Today Whittington functions largely as a residential district with local shops, schools and small businesses, while many people commute into Chesterfield or Sheffield. Community life centres on pubs, clubs and occasional events, and there are green corridors and recreation spaces that link the neighbourhood to the surrounding countryside.
