West End is the wide road running towards the top left of the picture.
St John's Street runs towards mid-left and Derby. Harrison Drive towards
mid-right and Cromford. Coldwell Street towards the bottom right and
Longway Bank. Dale and Greenhill towards top-right. The busy stalls
of Market Place, (it must be Tuesday), are where West End meets
St John's Street. The Heritage Centre is right across the road,
you'll be made most welcome.
