Calver (Old English Calf Slope[1]) is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, England.
The village is bordered by the River Derwent and intersected by the A623 trunk road, responsible for carrying traffic between Manchester to the west, Sheffield to the north and Chesterfield to the east.
Today, the village's buildings are predominantly residential, but some local enterprises, including a craft centre, petrol station and shop, garage, gallery, cafe and three pubs remain.
[3] Spinning finished in 1923, but during the Second World War the mill was used as a storage depot and as a plant for crushing and washing fluorspar used in steelmaking.
The millpond may have had various sources, including water in Calver sough extracted from the mine.
