As a resident of Spondon, I must say that it is still viewed today as a Village, people talk of the going to the village shops etc, the article suggests that has been taken over by the Urban Sprawl of greater Derby, geograhpically it may appear so, as the remaining fields between Derby & Spondon are now an out of town shopping area, but the two locations are definately separate.

Spondon's contempory history is focused mainly on the O.S.M.C also known as the Original Spondon Massive Crew or the S.S.M.C. This consisted of 8 members, Cal, Dan, Paul, Elyce, Martin, Chris, Beth, Simon and Matt. Due to the popularity of the group branches creates groups such as the D.R.M.C and the 'S.M.C' which is a direct link to the original group. It will be in Spondon history forever.
