The ward of Ockbrook and Borrowash sits in the borough of Erewash, Derbyshire, England, forming two adjoining villages just to the east of Derby on the floodplain of the River Derwent. It combines suburban housing and commuter links with surrounding green belt and riverside countryside, making it popular for people who work in Derby or Nottingham but want a village feel.
Both settlements retain distinct historic character - Ockbrook is known for its long-standing Moravian congregation and period cottages, while Borrowash grew significantly with Victorian rail connections - so you’ll find listed buildings, village pubs, local shops and active community clubs. Economically it functions largely as a commuter catchment, yet local events, sports teams and conservation areas help preserve a strong village identity within Erewash.
