The River Hipper is a small river in Derbyshire, England. It flows through the town of Chesterfield and joins the River Rother.
The River Hipper rises near the village of Burbage in Derbyshire. It flows east through countryside and former industrial areas before reaching Chesterfield. In the town, the river passes close to residential and business areas before joining the River Rother.
In the past, the River Hipper was used by local industries. Mills and factories were built along its banks, especially during the Industrial Revolution. The river also played a part in shaping Chesterfield’s growth as a market and industrial town.
The river supports wildlife such as fish, birds and insects. In recent years, work has been done to improve water quality and reduce flooding in Chesterfield.
