13 of Chesterfield’s grottiest buildings – including rundown spots that were once much-loved pubs, nightclubs and shops

These buildings are some of the grottiest in Chesterfield – with once-popular pubs, nightclubs and shops standing empty across the town.

A number of Chesterfield eyesores have been demolished or redeveloped in recent years – but a number of grotty buildings remain in place across the town.

Some of the town’s most prominent and historic buildings – including some with listed status – currently sit vacant and at risk of falling into disrepair.

13. Department

The three-storey Art Deco building on Cavendish Street is occupied by homeware retailer Boyes on the ground floor, but the space above that has remained empty since the Department nightclub closed its doors for the last time more than a decade ago. The building went up for auction in 2022 but currently remains closed. Photo: Brian Eyre
