Derby
A city in the East Midlands of the UK with a population just shy of 230,000, Derby is the 18th largest settlement in England when measured by urban area. Derby and Derbyshire were centres of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Originally the site of Britain's first water-powered silk mill, Derby was an important focal point of the textile industry, with the 19th century seeing Derby become a centre of engineering, specifically railway engineering. Nowadays the city's biggest employers are Rolls-Royce plc and Toyota, and the city has earned the nickname of "Ghost capital of Britain", with over 1,000 paranormal sightings recorded in recent years.
