Shelton Lock sits about four miles south of Derby city centre, essentially serving as a suburban bridge between Allentree and Chellaston. The area takes its name from the local lock on the Derby Canal, which historically played a vital role in the region's industrial transport until it was closed in the 1960s; today, the canal's former path has been transformed into a well-used cycle and walking route that connects the suburb directly to the city and the surrounding countryside. Geographically, it is a largely residential pocket defined by its proximity to the A514, which makes it a practical base for those working at the nearby Rolls-Royce sites or the Infinity Park development. While it lacks a traditional "high street," the local life tends to revolve around a small parade of shops, the community centre, and a handful of long-standing pubs like the Full Moon. It has a quiet, settled feel, largely characterized by mid-century housing and easy access to the green space of Sinfin Moor Park just to the west.
