Homes in Borrowash

Borrowash was the second village in Ockbrook parish and only started to grow in the late 1800s. It is now the larger of the two. The Derby Canal reached it in 1796 and was abandoned by the 1960s, though Ulliker's Bridge from 1795 survives. St Stephen's Church dates from 1899, and older houses include Ivy House and Rock House on the listed buildings register. Most homes here came later, through the 20th century. Bungalows are easier to work on than most houses, as cables can run through the loft to reach almost every room.
