Buxton
Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire. Due to its position on the edge of the county boundary, with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is frequently described as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Originally a municipal borough, Buxton joined with other locations in 1974 to create the local government district and borough of High Peak inside the county of Derbyshire. Being 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is thought to be England's highest market town. This height means that the town is normally cooler than nearby areas, with the daytime temperature being approximately two degrees C lower than the temperature in Manchester. Found on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is historically a spa town due to the geothermal spring that rises at a continuous temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well by way of a pipe system which is positioned opposite the Crescent in close proximity to the centre of Buxton. Buxton reached a lot of fame 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 recorded in the 2011 Census, the permanent resident population of the town is approximately 22,000. The town has seen continuous growth 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.
