Stapleford in the Borough of Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, England is a compact town just a few miles west of Nottingham and close to the county boundary with Derbyshire and the River Erewash. It has medieval origins but expanded rapidly in the 19th century with framework knitting, lace and links to nearby coalfields, leaving a mix of Victorian terraces, former mill buildings and a historic parish church in the town centre.
These days Stapleford feels largely residential and commuter-focused, with local shops, light industry and green spaces, and good road and rail connections into Nottingham and beyond. Its proximity to transport hubs such as Toton and the wider Trent valley gives it practical economic ties while community halls and periodic local events preserve a strong neighbourhood character amid ongoing regeneration.
