Borrowash 
pronounced (listen) is a village in the Erewash district of Derbyshire, England, situated immediately east of the Derby city boundary. The appropriate civil parish is called Ockbrook and Borrowash.
In the village there is a Co-operative supermarket, which is located amongst a number of amenities including a butcher, estate agent, a Post Office, library, Chip Shop, hardware shop and several hairdressers. Further to this are public houses including The Nags Head and The Wilmot Arms, as well as two rival Indian restaurants and some takeaways.
The local football team Borrowash Victoria A.F.C. play in the East Midlands Counties Football League, but their home ground, Borrowash Road, is in the neighbouring Derby suburb of Spondon. The ground is situated next door to Graham Street Prims, who have a fierce rivalry with each other, and are currently competing in the same league. Also on the same ground is an archery club, Anchor Bowmen Archery Club. Other sporting affiliations include Ockbrook and Borrowash Lawn Tennis Club situated on Nottingham Road.
Borrowash Playgroup offers non-compulsory education to children aged between one and three, as does Ashbrook Nursery School but this is specifically for ages two to four. Ashbrook Infant and Junior Schools provide compulsory education at Key Stages 1 and 2 for children aged 4–11.
For further educational facilities (non-fee paying), the closest secondary school is West Park in Spondon where, as of 2004, a sixth form no longer exists and consequently the closest provider of further education is Friesland School in Sandiacre. The nearest university is the University of Derby.
