Breaston is a large village in Derbyshire, England. Originally an agricultural village, Breaston has continued to grow for centuries until it has reached its current size, separated from the neighbouring Long Eaton only by the M1. Breaston today is now mainly residential. There is a church, a Methodist chapel, three pubs, still named as they were in 1846 - The Bulls Head, The Chequers Inn and The Navigation Inn; a club, a medical centre, and a comprehensive range of shops located in the centre of the village around the church and village green.
