I don’t know it was taken from a quiz set by:
“So you think you know Heanor” by Phillip Eggleshaw

But if Taghill and that area was going to be the town centre maybe the name came from that?

The New Market Scheme
On Tuesday evening a meeting convened by the originators of the “no Market Scheme”. Was held in the pay-room at the town Hall. Mr. S. Hardy was voted to the chair. Among others present were T. Mayfield, S. Towson, J. Holbrook, J. Bowley, T. Locbies?, J. Lomas, W. Thorp, W. Berrisford, N. Ball, and H. Cresswell. Mr W. Smith observed the Tag-Hill proposal included the purchase of the Cross Keys – for £1600. Mr. J. Holbrook in explaining “no 1 Market Scheme” said is order to make it more complete he would suggest the purchasing of 850 square yards more land adjoining the proposed plot, belonging to Mr John Thorpe, which was now on sale, the owner consenting to sell it for £375. He felt fully convinced values all parties amalgamated no scheme could effectually succeed. But in this proposal, providing it failed, they would have value for their money. A lengthy discussion on the various proposals offered took place, in which Messrs Towson, Mayfield, Cresswell, Thorpe and Bowley took prominent parts, after which Mr T. Mayfield moved “That Messrs J. Holbrook, J. Bowley and S. Towson form a deputation from that meeting to wait on the other market scheme committee with a view of arranging for a final public meeting. Mr. J. Paxton seconded, and the ----- was carried.
