Present day Littleover village is situated around the shopping area on Burton Road. The village's public house is called the Half Moon and is noted as being one of two inns in 1577. The older part of the village around St Peter's church was built in the 14th century. The Village has another public house, the White Swan which can be found on Shepherd Street also near the older part of Littleover. Directly opposite the White Swan is Church Street which takes its name from the aforementioned St Peter's and links up with the Hollow which is believed to be of Medieval origin.
