Derby is the 18th largest settlement in the UK with a population of 233,700. It is a city and primary destination in the East Midlands. Derby became a city in 1977 so signs can still be seen in the city which have 'city centre' patched over 'town centre'.
Derby is home to important British industry such as Bombardier and Rolls-Royce.
Derby is on the boundary between zones 5 and 6- the A6 runs through the city.
