What is/was Langley Mill Anyway? replied on: 12/1/2005 5:44:01 PM I'm pleased to have gotten a few responses already - thought it might have been only me who had an identity crisis! Good point about the power of the old co-op - I'd thought about that one. And of course in those old religious days, the various churchs were a power base. I remember large gatherings at Aldercar C of E garden parties - and simular events at the Baptist church on Station Road. One of the points I wanted to make was that I'm fairly sure that Heanor sacrificed Langley Mill firstly with the Woodlinken by-pass (that it ran along Cromford Road didn't bother them - they had rid of much through-traffic) and later the new by-pass has condemned the Eastwood end of Langley Mill to becoming a slum. Why noone fought against this I can't imagine. As to where Aldercar begins etc. The old site of Aldercar Infant School, ie intersection of Plumtree with Cromford Road has to be Aldercar somehow. Ebenezer Street and her sisters have to be Langley Mill - I always felt you had to pass through the 'green gates' to get to Aldercar, but what happened around the back ie on the estate I'll leave others to decide - they were all new-comers anyway! Not that it belongs here, but what status do and did Loscoe and Codnor have? I never knew.
