Alfreton, Market town in Amber Valley, England
The town extends across elevated terrain in Derbyshire, featuring a mix of residential areas, commercial districts, and industrial zones within its boundaries.
Archaeological findings indicate Roman settlements in the area, while the town's name originates from King Alfred's period, documented as Aelfredingtune in 1004.
All Saints Church, dating from the 12th century, displays Norman architectural elements and stands as a central religious structure in the community.
The railway station connects passengers to major cities like Liverpool and Norwich, while local buses provide transportation throughout Amber Valley.
The 1749 discovery of Roman coins in Greenhill Lane confirms the extended habitation period of this Derbyshire settlement.
