Newhall, Derbyshire

Newhall is a village in the South Derbyshire district of Derbyshire, England. The village of Stanton and town of Swadlincote are nearby.

It lies between Swadlincote and Burton upon Trent and connected to the A444 to the south and the A511 to the north. To the east is the town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, very close to the M42 linking Nottingham (Northeast) and Birmingham (Southwest). Burton upon Trent is to the west with the A38 heading south to Lichfield and north for Derby and the M1. Swadlincote is the closest town centre to the village.

There are regular buses linking Burton upon Trent to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (the number 9 Diamond East Midlands or Swadlincote to Burton upon Trent (the 4,8,9,19, Diamond East Midlands) The nearest railway station is in Burton upon Trent.

At one time there were over 60 public houses and off-licences in Newhall. One researcher has listed 37 of them.

In 1971, Newhall was the centre of population for Great Britain. It was first calculated as being at Rodsley in 1901 and has spread south to be at Appleby Magna by the year 2000.

There are two secondary schools, William Allitt Academy, and The Pingle Academy nearby in Swadlincote.

Stanton is very small and is to the south west of Newhall near the A444. It is clearly separate from Newhall. The Repton parish borders the north, a section of Stapenhill parish is to the northwest, Linton parish is east and south with Church Gresley parish covering a small southern area. Swadlincote Parish is southwest and finally Midway parish links the northeast back up to Repton. Unlike Stanton, Newhall merges into Swadlincote and Midway. Roads define the parish boundaries.

The population is around 7,300 (2001) A similar number for Midway and about a thousand less for Swadlincote.
