LANGLEY MILL is a large village, with a station on the Erewash
branch of the Midland railway, 9½ miles north-west from Nottingham
and 126½ from London, partly in the parish of Heanor, a small
portion being in the parish of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in the Ilkeston
division of the county, Morleston and Litchurch hundred, Basford union,
Smalley petty sessional division, Belper and Ilkeston county court
district, rural deanery of Alfreton, archdeaconry of Derby and diocese
of Southwell. A small stream called "Baileybrook" runs between
the village and Heanor into the Erewash. The village is supplied with
water from works, the property of the Heanor Local Board, and lighted
with gas by the Langley Mill and Heanor Gas Company. St. John's, a
chapel of ease to Heanor church, is a building of stone, in the Early
English style, consisting of quasi-chancel, nave, north porch and
an eastern turret containing one bell : there are 230 sittings: the
Rev. Frederic William Heppenstall M.A. of St. John's College, Cambridge,
has been curate in charge since 1889. There are Baptist, Primitive
Methodist, Free Methodist and Wesleyan chapels. Owing to the establishment
of several large works here and in the neighbourhood, this village
has considerably increased within the last few years. ALDERCAR is half a mile north, and MILNHAY a quarter south. POST, M. O. & T. O., S. B. & Annuity & Insurance Office (Railway Sub-Office.
