Area Profile: Heanor Spatial Outline Heanor is located in the west of Amber Valley. It is approximately 10 miles north east of Derby and 11 miles west of Nottingham. The area is linked to several communication corridors including easy access to the M1 and the railway station at Langley Mill. Heanor town centre was once a busy market town, with a strong economy based on textiles and coal mining. In recent times however, the mining and manufacturing industries have significantly declined and the area has experienced changes in local shopping patterns with retail uses in the historic heart of the town centre being lost (High Street and Market Place). The local housing market has grown moderately since the 1980s but settlements within the Heanor area tend to be lower priced.
