Brampton is an area of Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Originally a village separate from the town, it became absorbed into it over time due to urban sprawl.

Entertainment

The area is well known amongst locals for the "Brampton Mile". This is a stretch of pubs, roughly a mile long, where a night out would include one drink in each bar. This has become less popular recently due to the closure of the main nightclubs in the area and also pubs such as The Terminus. These buildings have now been demolished and flats have been erected in their place. The focus now centres on the town itself.

Housing

The area is based around the Chatsworth Road, off of which are many housing estates which date back a long way. However, new housing is being built all the time and this area is rapidly expanding.
