Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. As it is on the border of the county boundary, with Cheshire towards the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is generally described as ‘The Gateway to the Peak District National Park’. Initially a municipal borough, Buxton joined other localities in 1974 to establish 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 frequently cooler than nearby locations, with the daytime temperature approximately 2 degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in Manchester. Situated 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 continual temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann’s Well by way of a pipe system which is located opposite the Crescent close to the town centre. Buxton reached substantial popularity when the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold on an international scale by Buxton Mineral Water Company. According to the 2011 Census, the permanent resident population of the town is 22,000. The town has seen continued growth since the coming of the railway in 1863. There is also a relatively prominent student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in one of Buxton’s historic buildings.
