Homes in Chellaston

Chellaston had just 42 houses in 1789. It grew a lot between 1880 and 1950, along Glenwood Road, Station Road and north of Sutton Avenue. After 1950 came the Springfield Road and St Peter's Road areas, then large developments on Sutton Avenue, Maple Drive and Parkway by the 1990s. Newer estates have since gone up to the east off Snelsmoor Lane and to the west, including Chellaston Fields in South Derbyshire. The 1990s houses often have a board with a single RCD covering half the circuits, which is fine until a fault takes out half the house.
