The Alexandra Hotel was named after the Danish princess who married the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) in 1863. This former Shipstones house is now with Castle Rock. A plaque in the lounge commemorates the birthplace of Derby CAMRA in 1974. The bar features an eclectic mix of railway memorabilia, and outside, a class 37 locomotive cab resides in the car park. The pub is very popular on football match days and is a short five minute walk from the train station.
