Places & Spaces With Buxton Civic Association Telling the story of Buxton

We enhance and sometimes lose the essence of a place. Places & Spaces is reflected in George Orwell's Novel 'Coming up for Air' Published June 1939. “But where was lower Binfield? Where was the town I used to know? It might have been anywhere. All I knew was that it was buried somewhere in the middle of all that sea of bricks.”

Navigating Places & Spaces – Area Overview

We are inviting our community to invest in their Places & Spaces, encouraging everyone to take time out to view, reflect and contribute towards the future of our town. Buxton is a fantastic place to live and work, we can all enjoy future success when we combine ideas and work together.

Combining New & Historic Housing

The arrival of the railway to Buxton in 1863 (with a special halt for the race course on Fairfield Common) led to a growth of population in Buxton and a major growth in the local limestone quarrying industry, each of which contributed to a sustained residential growth in Fairfield.
