Dist:0.2km<br/>An interesting 30's style building, which gives its name to the adjacent roundabout on Derby's ring road.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Blue Peter at Alvaston opened January 1935. It was the first of three pubs to be opened in Derby using identical designs. They were operated by Offilers, the Derby brewer which later became part of Bass. The other pubs sharing the same art deco style design, resembling ocean liners, are The Blue Boy at Chaddeston which opened Jan 1936 and The Blue Pool at Sunnyhill (now a Tesco Express) which opened in May 1936. See also [[[2570883]]] and [[[80261]]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Blue Peter was a racehorse, but he came along after the eponymous pub was opened in 1935, which gave the traffic island its name.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Don't really know much about this church only that it's always been there, the only striking feature is it's in the middle of a row of terraced houses, the houses were probably there first, which begs the question, "What was there before the church?"

Dist:0.4km<br/>Approaching the Raynesway Park roundabout along the A511 (at this point also the A6 for about 300 yards to the Alvaston roundabout).
