Marsh Lane is a small village in the district of North East Derbyshire, in Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the South Yorkshire border and within easy reach of Sheffield and Chesterfield. It occupies a pleasant position on the rolling farmland that marks the western fringe of the Peak District, with footpaths and lanes that appeal to walkers and people seeking a rural feel not far from larger towns.
The village grew up in the 19th century around coal-mining and related industry, and that heritage still shapes its character through rows of terraced housing and the pattern of former pit sites. Since the decline of local mining it has become more of a commuter and local-services community, with a close-knit social life centred on pubs, clubs and village facilities, while retaining visible reminders of its industrial past and a quiet, countryside atmosphere.
