Alfreton Hookups: Alfreton Women Want to Meet

No-strings fun for adults in Alfreton and the old manor villages around it, from Ironville to Swanwick.

Alfreton hookups, and the four villages that once belonged to it

Where does Alfreton stop? The parish holds fewer than 9,000 people, but the Norman manor, and later the urban district, took in Ironville, Riddings, Somercotes and Swanwick as well, and with them the population passed 24,000 in 2001.

It is a useful reminder, for anyone looking for a hookup, that the town centre is only the middle of the map. If your match turns out to live in Ironville or Swanwick, or a few miles off in Ripley or Clay Cross, that still counts as local.

Alfreton is young: four in ten members are under 25

Four in ten of our members within 25 miles of Alfreton are 18 to 24, well above the site's overall figure of under three in ten, so if you're under 25 you're in the thick of it. The 25 to 34s come to just over a fifth, the 35 to 44s to one in ten, and everyone aged 45 or over to about a quarter between them.

Women make up a little over one in five, below the three in ten across the site, so it pays to be open to the next town along and to give people something to reply to. Photos and status updates do that, and the features page shows what you can post. The home towns on the list include Sheffield, Rotherham, Kimberworth, Nottingham, Derby, Chaddesden and Castle Donington.

Four towns in two counties, all inside six miles

Ripley is four and a half miles from Alfreton and Clay Cross just under five, both in Derbyshire. Cross the county line into Nottinghamshire and Kirkby-in-Ashfield is under six miles away, with Mansfield about eight. Heanor and Loscoe are under six too, and Belper and Matlock under eight, so a halfway point is easy to find.

Choose a public spot and a time of day when other people are about, and arrange your own way home. A friend who knows where you are is worth more than any amount of cleverness, and if anyone ignores a no, you can block them and report the profile or message from inside the site.
