Working Life...
Arnold Laver, timber merchant, was a part of Chesterfield since the 1930s. After closure, the site was re-developed as part of the Waterside development on Brimington Road.

Working Life...
Horn's Bridge viaduct where Chesterfield's three railways once crossed each other, was a unique feature of the town. The Victorian Midland Railway bridge was replaced in 1932 by a steel one. This was part of a road widening scheme on Lordsmill Street.

Working Life...
This model shows a look of an alternative Chesterfield as envisaged in 1974. It was part of the proposals for the redevelopment of the Market Place. Naturally, there was strong local opposition and alternative plans were developed to retain the historical features of the Market Place.

There's always a great view from the top of a building site. This was taken in 1969 and is the rebuilding of the Natwest bank looking towards the town hall.

There were so many different brick makers in Chesterfield. Lancaster bricks were made at the site of Wheeldon Mill in Brimington in the late 19th century.

October sees us looking at objects in the collection related to construction or building. This building site was for housing on Chatsworth Road. The builder was W Revill & Son and it looks like it might be the 1930s. We're not sure about the exact location, though. Any ideas?
