About Alvaston
Alvaston is a village. Location: Derby, England. Population: 16,255. Elevation: 46 m.
Alvaston (/ˈɒlvəstən/ or /ˈælvəstən/) is a village and ward of Derby, in the ceremonial county of Derbyshire, England. Alvaston is on the A6 three miles south-east of Derby city centre and probably owes its name to an individual called Ælfwald. The village of Alvaston has existed since at least the 11th century. Rapid expansion came in the second half of the 19th century and in 1904 the electric tram replaced the horse-drawn omnibus service and, with the advent of the motor car, London Road became the A6.
