A short history of Borrowash
For most of its history Borrowash was the second village in the parish of Ockbrook. The Derby Canal reached it in 1796 but fell into decline once the railway arrived in the middle of the nineteenth century. From the late 1800s the village began to grow and it later overtook Ockbrook in size. St Stephen's Church was built in 1899 to a design by P.H. Currey of Derby, giving Borrowash a church of its own within the parish. The canal had been abandoned by the 1960s. Passenger trains stopped running in 1966 and the railway station was demolished in 1994. Four Grade II listed buildings stand near the centre, including Rock House, Ivy House and the Ockbrook and Borrowash War Memorial.
