Troway is a hamlet in Derbyshire.[1]
The village is in Moss Valley, on both banks of the Troway Brook and its tributary the Vale Brook. The Troway Brook flows into The Moss near the hamlets of Birley Hay and Ford.
In 2007, some major damage to houses in Troway was caused after the Troway Brook burst its banks.[2][3]
The village is located two miles west of Eckington, two miles east of Coal Aston, and two and a half mile south of Gleadless.
There were once small quarries in Troway, but they closed several years ago.
