Sandiacre /ˈsændieɪkər/ is a village and civil parish in the borough of Erewash in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England adjoining the border with Nottinghamshire. The population of the parish was 8,889 at the 2011 Census.
The name Sandiacre is usually thought to refer to a sandy acre, though another interpretation, based on Saint Diacre, is sometimes advanced.[2] Sandiacre has a parish council rather than a town council and does not constitute a post town, but it is sometimes described as a town, with the local football and cricket clubs both being called "Sandiacre Town".
