Summerfield Browne Solicitors are business solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. SRA number 598802. With offices located across the East Midlands, we are ideally located to provide legal services to residents of Derby and the surrounding areas. Derby is a vibrant city, located in the southern part of Derbyshire, around 6 miles from the Peak District National Park. Despite having a Cathedral since 1927 it only became a city in 1977. Derby can trace its history back to around 50AD, when the Romans built a fort to the west of the River Derwent.
Throughout the ages since, many local industries have been established. With wool and then cloth being woven, the industrial revolution brought about England’s water-powered silk mill being built in Derby in 1717. This has now been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being surrounded by breathtaking countryside, this gave our famous industrialists of their time all the local resources to exploit the riches conveniently left by mother nature. The likes of coal, lead and limestone mining, wool, stone and plenty water to power early pumps.
Chris is excellent at getting to grips quickly with our members’ legal issues, and giving practical, succinct and jargon-free advice.
In the following years, Derby became renowned for its advancements in railway technology, thanks to the efforts of engineers like George Stephenson, who built the world's first steam-powered railway locomotive, the "Locomotion No. 1," in 1825. Derby's Midland Railway Works became a renowned center for locomotive manufacturing, solidifying the city's reputation as a locomotive engineering hub. Motor and aviation followed with Rolls Royce opening first a car and then aircraft factory.
Derby and Derbyshire still play an important role in many industries but also celebrate both historic historians, whether they be industrialists such as Richard Arkwright (factories and spinning), Robert Bakewell (ironsmith), Strutt, Henry Cavendish (scientist) and the arts such as Catherine Booth (Salvation Army), Francis Legatt Chantrey (artist). Florence Nightingale, the revered nurse and social reformer, was born in Derby in 1820. Her pioneering work in healthcare and efforts to improve nursing standards have had a lasting impact worldwide.
