Melbourne is a former market town about 8 miles south of Derby, 8 miles north of Swadlincote and 2 miles from the River Trent. In 1837 a then tiny settlement in Australia was named after William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, and thus indirectly takes its name from the Derbyshire village.
