The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library, Chaddesden Park

This library opened in March 2013, replacing an earlier building situated nearby on the park.  It is named in memory of the journalist, broadcaster and former MP for Derby North Phillip Whitehead. 

A display cabinet in the library houses a selection of books from Phillip’s personal collection, reflecting the breadth of his interests as a politician, journalist and broadcaster as well as some of his own publications.  A portfolio of information about Phillip Whitehead’s life and career is also available at the library.
