The town of Ripley in Derbyshire is the most English, according to a study of people’s names.

The research, which classified the ethnic background of Britain’s 42.2 million adult voters according to the origin of their names, found that 88.5 per cent of Ripley’s inhabitants were ethnically English.

Heanor, in Derbyshire, had the second highest proportion of English names, followed by Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, and Boston, Lincolnshire.

The study, carried out by Professor Richard Webber, of University College London, on behalf of OriginsInfo marketing.

Knightsbridge Place in Ripley

I have lived in Ripley for over 43 years so I am qualified to say that the development of Knightsbridge Place is the most important positive retail development in more than 20 years.

Knightsbridge Place is the former Co-op building on Nottingham Road and is Ripley's largest building. The Co-op closed in the late 1980's and the building was purchased by Tim Godkin in 2001. Derbyshire Investments David and Maginda Gill acquired the building in 2004 and have developed it into apartments and retail.

One of the new businesses in Knightbridge Place is PJ's Snooker and Pool Bar located on the first floor. PJ's has it's own access off Booth Street. Click here to see more.
