Buxton
Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. Because it is on the border of the county boundary, with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is generally known as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Originally a municipal borough, Buxton joined other localities in 1974 to create the local government district and borough of High Peak in the county of Derbyshire. At 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is thought to be England's highest market town. Such height means that the town is often cooler than nearby locations, with the daytime temperature being around 2 degrees C lower than the temperature in Manchester. Found on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is traditionally a spa town because of the geothermal spring that rises at a continuous temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well through a pipe system which is situated opposite the Crescent in close proximity to the town centre. Buxton reached considerable recognition after the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the latter half of the 19th century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold on an international scale by Buxton Mineral Water Company. As noted in the 2011 Census, the permanent resident population of the town is about 22,000. The town has witnessed continued expansion since the coming of the railway in 1863. There is also a fairly significant student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in 1 of Buxton's historic buildings.
