Alvaston and Allenton

buzz with history and traffic

circling under Spider Bridge

 

Chaddesden and Chellaston

have seen the passing

of a way of life

making way

for breakbeats now

hip-hopping to a different drum

 

From Oakwood to Sunnyhill

the Derby dance

moves - heaving

balancing with

outstretched arms

supporting all who come
