Breaston
Breaston ( )〔''BBC Pronouncing Dictionary of British Names'' Oxford University Press ISBN 0-19-212976-7〕 is a large village in the south-east of Derbyshire in the East Midlands of England near Long Eaton and close to the M1. In early October 2014 reports emerged that it may be the preferred location for the East Midlands Hub HS2 railway station.
==History==
Breaston was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers〔Henry was given a large number of manors in Derbyshire including land in Swarkestone, Markeaton, Sinfin and Cowley.〕 and being worth four shillings.〔''Domesday Book: A Complete Translation''. London: Penguin, 2003. ISBN 0-14-143994-7 p.748〕
Originally an agricultural village, Breaston has continued to grow for centuries until it has reached its current size, separated from neighbouring Long Eaton only by the M1 motorway.
Breaston today is mainly residential. There is a church (St Michael), a primary school, a Methodist chapel, three pubs (three of them still named as they were in 1846 - The Bulls Head, Chequers Inn〔(The Chequers Inn site )〕 and The Navigation Inn); a medical centre and a comprehensive range of shops, including a Co-op, located in the centre of the village around the church and the village green. The green (known as Duffield Close) is said to be one of the largest in the country and an annual May Day Fete is held there.
