Moving to Derbyshire

[raskel]

Hi, a friend of mine is thinking of moving to Derbyshire, in particular Buxton, Chapel-en-la-Frith areas.

 

Is anyone from around there, or know people are?

 

They are looking to rent first and wondered what areas to look into.

 

Thanks

Buxton might be a touristy town famed for its spa water….But it is also boring,cold,rain lashed for most of the year..The sun rarely comes out.The council provide next to no leisure facilities..A refurbishment of the 1970s swimming pool has taken over 18 months to do..Guess what? It looks exactly the same as it did before! The Historic Crescent has been empty and derelict for over 15 yrs..To say things move slowly here is an understatement….The locals are narrow minded,and in the main seem not very intelligent :stare at anything,or anybody who is in any way slightly different…(DO NOT come here if you are black,gay,etc etc !),and seemed to like getting drunk and smashing windows on the market place on a saturday night.Although it purports itself as a cultural area,a lot of the work is provided by the quarries stone quarrying in the area,and associated jobs such as haulage.The town centre is like many others dying on its feet,and full of charity shops..It has a tiny indoor shopping precinct..And thats your lot really! I would say DONT BOTHER IF YOU ARE THINKING OF MOVING HERE!

Buxton is a jewel set in the Peak District where obviously middle class folks go about their business squeezing out 2.4 kids, helping out on the PTA and worrying about upgrading the company Mondeo to an Audi A4 by catching the bosses eye on whatever no-mark and irrelevent project they happen to be working on this week – it’s a ‘par for the course’ commuter town.

 

Only it’s not and if you look a little closer…….

 

The tradition of the CHAV and it’s related social underclass connotations go back for hundred’s of years – because that’s how long many of the local families have resided here never daring to leave Buxton’s warm embrace breeding with each other to drain an ever decreasing genealogical pool. The Buxton CHAV is a creature who likes to hang around the Pavillion Gardens car park after 2000h drinking WKD. This s**te inhabits the recently opened KFC where they find all the sustinance their emaciated bodies require honestly believing that a FANTA contains all the vitamin C they require. They also have an ALDI from where they can purchase whatever it is this vile underclass reqiire for sustinance.

 

In the evenings – the older ones like to frequent the ‘Cheese’ where they can beat the crap out of the recently arrived dregs of the UCAS system who study at the local campus of Derby University – they can be found in the Spicy Kitchen at turning out time where the ubiquitous tra of donner meat and chips can be purchased without taking too much out of the job seekers allowance/family allowance/income support.

 

Where do these miscreants come from? Well – on the edge of town is a festering/weeping sore known as Fairfield AKA Scumville. No-one of taste of self respect lives here by choice yet the local morons see it as a badge of honour and they breed with one another to ensure the area is re-populated with first/second/third generation pond scum. The Police won’t even patrol there even though they know all the criminality in Buxton occurs up there – they would rather park a mile or two up the A6 to catch ‘speeding’ TAX PAYING commuters on their way home from a hard day in the office – thus one can argue the Police assist in the perpetuation of the Buxton Chav myth.

 

Benefit claiming Buxton s**te like to drive constantly from upper Buxton to lower Buxton day and night in various souped up untaxed and uninsured bangers listening to loud dance music in between attempting to impregnate 14 year old females they pick up on the Market Place or the aforementioned car park at the Gardens.

I think in that area the only place worse than Buxton is Dove Holes.

Plus it's very isolated in bad-winter weather.

I have heard some stories about Chapel-en-le-Frith as well

It's only isolated if you want to go somewhere else. Sheffield is pretty isolated if you want to go to Buxton.

I take it you are not impressed with the place nor with its inhabitants.

Or have I read your posts incorrectly?

 

Edit. didn't the hotel in the main square feature in a TV programme a few years back?

I'm not from Buxton but about 12 miles away.

 

I'm sorry but I agree with the first poster. In places like Buxton, Dove Holes or Chapel they are that high up you'll get a couple of days of sun a year and snow in Summer.

 

Depends what you are wanting though but there are better places in Derbyshire than Buxton!

Melbourne is OK in winter.
