About Wilmorton
Wilmorton is situated between Alvaston and Osmaston, to the south of the city centre on the A6 from Deadman’s Lane to the Canal Bridge. It is named from the track that led to the plague pit dug 1348 during the Great Plague or Black Death. The area was named after Reverend Sir George Wilmot-Horton, 5th Baronet of Osmast. The canal was closed in 1964 and converted to a cycle track.
