Local area guide
Skip hire in Chesterfield
Chesterfield is a market town in Derbyshire, sitting on the Rivers Rother and Hipper around 11 miles south of Sheffield, with a population of around 88,000. It was a Roman fort site and grew as a market town, receiving its charter in 1204 — the open-air market on the cobbled Market Place is one of the largest and oldest in the country and still trades several days a week. The town later prospered on coal, iron and engineering, sitting on the Derbyshire coalfield with substantial works including the Markham engineering company and the Staveley ironworks.
Chesterfield's defining landmark is the Crooked Spire of St Mary and All Saints Church, which twists 45 degrees and leans nearly ten feet from true. The distortion is generally attributed to unseasoned timber and the weight of some 32 tons of lead applied after the Black Death had killed off the skilled craftsmen who would have known better — though local legend prefers the story of the Devil, or of the spire twisting round in astonishment when a virgin was married in the church. It is one of the most recognisable buildings in England.
The town is closely associated with George Stephenson, the railway pioneer, who spent his last years at Tapton House above Chesterfield and is buried in Holy Trinity Church. He experimented with growing straight cucumbers here in glass tubes, and the town's Stephenson Memorial Hall houses the Chesterfield Museum and the Pomegranate Theatre. Queen's Park, laid out in 1893, holds one of the country's more picturesque cricket grounds, long a Derbyshire outground.
Chesterfield sits on the M1 at junctions 29 and 30 with the A61 and A619 running through, and Chesterfield station on the Midland Main Line gives services to London St Pancras in around two hours, Sheffield in ten minutes and Nottingham and Leeds. The Peak District begins a few miles west, with Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall and Bolsover Castle all close by. Neighbouring communities include Brimington, Staveley, Clay Cross, Dronfield, Bolsover and Holymoorside.
Housing in Chesterfield ranges from Georgian and Victorian property around the town centre and Saltergate to terraced housing built for the pits and ironworks across Hasland, Brampton and Whittington, interwar and post-war estates at Newbold and Loundsley Green, and modern development on former colliery and industrial land, including the large Chesterfield Waterside regeneration around the canal basin. Property is affordable relative to Sheffield, and the town's rail links and Peak District proximity have made it an increasingly popular commuter base.
