More information about Alfreton
Alfreton, the market town located in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, has been associated with the car industry, finance industry and motorsport for many years. Depending on who you speak to, its importance in these sectors of the economy is either huge or of moderate importance. But what is certain is that Alfreton has been at the centre of both the manufacturing and financial sectors for centuries and continues to influence the economy of the area as well as Derbyshire as a whole.
Alfreton's origins as a vehicle manufacturer go back to the days of the first motorcar, and the town was famously home to the Standard Motor Company, which in its heyday produced hundreds of motorcars, busses and vehicles of all kinds. The company even produced passenger aircraft during the Second World War. Standard Motor Corporation held the contract to produce engines and gearboxes for the Birmingham Motor Cycle which proved to be a huge success in the British market, and although the company was bought out in the 1970s and production ceased in the 1980s, it still has a place of honour in Alfreton's history.
The car industry continues to play a role in the economy of Alfreton. The town is home to a number of vehicle-related companies, including car part suppliers, body repair shops and a host of specialised mechanics. The car sales market has also grown in Alfreton, with a number of car dealerships, both new and second hand, located in the town. The local press frequently discuss new models of cars set to be released, so Alfreton could be counted as something of a centre of the car industry in a rural setting.
The finance industry is also closely tied to Alfreton. Many banking institutions have opened branches in the town, and over the years the local chamber of commerce has enjoyed the support and intervention of these major banks on matters relating to the local economy. Banks such as Barclays, NatWest, HSBC and even small, local ones such as Derbyshire Building Society have been vocal supporters of the Alfreton and district economy, providing financing and support to local businesses.
The town is also home to a number of financial advisors, estate agents and even a stockbroker, further consolidating Alfreton's place at the centre of the finance industry. What's more, with its proximity to the cities of Derby and Nottingham, the finance sector is able to benefit from the proximity of larger financial centres without sacrificing job security and good wages for its inhabitants.
Alfreton's connection to the motorsport industry is also notable. For many years, the town was home to the Barford Motor Racecourse, a 3-mile circuit which held regular events including motorcycle races, sprints and hill climbs. It also served as a test track for car manufacturers, who sent their teams to the track in order to fine-tune the performance of their latest models. The track was eventually closed in the early 2000's, but it remains an iconic site in the history of motorsport and Alfreton.
In terms of demographics, Alfreton has a population of around 10,861 people, with a median age of 40. The town is predominantly White British in terms of its ethnic makeup, with 87.2% of the population classified as White British, compared to 2.3% of Asian ethnic origin and 1.9% of other ethnic origins. The ethnicity of the population of Alfreton reflects the ethnic makeup of Derbyshire as a whole, where White British people make up 86.8% of the population and other ethnic origins make up 15.2%.
Alfreton is an example of a town that still holds the history of its links to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. Although the manufacturing industry has dwindled in the area, the banking industry has grown, helping to diversify the economy of Alfreton. The town continues to be home to a number of well-respected financial advisors, car dealerships and motor-race enthusiasts, showing that the links to these three industries remain strong even though the economic conditions may have changed.
