Title: Where is Whittington/Whittington Moor
Post by: corndolly on Sunday 05 July 15 18:37 BST (UK)
Hi

I know Whittington, Shropshire [x roads A5/A495], but apparently there is a Whittington Moor in Derbyshire.

If so could anyone tell me where it is please and what registration district [Births etc] it would have come under back in 1870-80?

Many thanks

Corndolly

We drive through Wittington Moor when we drive from Lincoln to Cheshire.
We go through Staverley, Wittington Moor, Cutthorpe and drop down into Baslow.  Chesterfield is on the edge of Wittington Moor.  It's a lovely little place.

You can see Whittington, New Whittington, and Whittington Moor on the map, and Old Whittington on the aerial view at http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/sidebyside.cfm#zoom=14&lat=53.2695&lon=-1.4220&layers=171&right=BingHyb there is no Old Whittington marked on the map. There is also Whittington Green.

Some of my family used to stop in whittington moor. some are even buried there. They would come back every winter to the pottery factories and stock up with the stoneware pots, then come the spring off they would go down the west coast till they got to wales. Selling all the pots as they went. They seemed to go back to the same place everytime a road called Foundry street.There were apparently a lot of pottery factories in whittington.
