ChesterfieldChesterfield is a picturesque market town and one of the major boroughs of Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. Chesterfield is situated just to the north of Derby and it sits at a site where the Rother and Hipper rivers both converge. In 2001 when the last census was taken the population was some 70,260 people making it a fairly large settlement in Derbyshire, and the largest town in the region. The area surrounding Chesterfield is also closely association with the town and a further quarter of a million people live in the surrounding towns and villages. With excellent transport links thanks to major public transport links and a location just 6 miles from the M1 it is easy to understand why Chesterfield is so popular with commuters and people who travel some distance to work. For many it offers the perfect blend of town living surrounding by beautiful rural scenery and it has a long and established history dating back to 1204 when Chesterfield first received its market charter. The market itself is very impressive with some two hundred and fifty stalls taking part on a regular basis three times a week (Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays). Throughout history Chesterfields name pops up various texts and documents, in 1594 Elizabeth I granted a charter of incorporation and this remained the charter by which the settlement was ruled by until 1835 when the Municipal Corporations Act was created. By the late 1800's Chesterfield had grown well beyond its original boundaries so many outlying villages and settlements were incorporated into the town, and this happened again in 1920 when Whittington and Newbold joined the fold. The most recent boundary change occurred in 1974 when the Borough of Chesterfield was created from Chesterfield itself along Stayeley and Brimington. Chesterfield town centre is a joy to behold, it has maintained a historic layout that has not been modified since before the second world war and the narrow mediaeval streets known as "The Shambles" are home to the Royal Oak, one of the oldest pubs in the country. Despite it's clear connection with history and tradition modern Chesterfield offers much for the 21st century landlord or tenant. A large number of restaurants, pubs, and shops cater for every taste and interest and a number of night clubs are dotted around the town. The night life and vibrant atmosphere in Chesterfield are well regarded with many people visiting from surrounding locations to enjoy an evening in the town. There are also a number of theatres and purpose built entertainment centres ensuring that Chesterfield attracts many performances from comedians, musicians, bands, artists and a variety of other talents. The Chesterfield museum charts the history of the town and the local area and many sculptures are displayed around the town, particularly in the area around the Royal Mail building on West Bars. |
