KIMBERLEY: Broxtowe Parish #3 of 10

BROXTOWE PARISH #3: KIMBERLEY Welcome to Kimberley, one of the towns of Broxtowe, located on the Western fringes of the City of Nottingham. Like many of the other towns and villages in the area much of the history of the town is tied up with the mining and lace industries aided and abetted by the coming of the railways. Its history goes back much further than that though. It was recorded in the Domesday Book as “Chinemarelie”, and the main landholder at that time was William Peverell who owned large swathes of land in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Over the years Kimberley has expanded to merge almost imperceptibly into neighbouring towns and villages to form a continuous urban landscape from Nottingham to Heanor, encompassing the towns of the Erewash Valley. Kimberley’s landmarks are plentiful. For a start, look no further than the war memorial, easily the most recognisable structure in the town and a depiction of it used as the logo of the town’s main school. Then there’s a 100 foot high water tower built to supply Nottingham with drinking water from the Derwent Valley. It also has some railway history including two old stations. What really sells this one though would be the buildings of the former Hardy and Hanson’s Brewery. After all its the business which made Kimberley famous. There’s lots of hills in this one as well. Kimberley definitely ain’t flat!
