Cheers to these Chesterfield pubs' movers and shakers who made watering holes the beating heart of the community

Pubs are the hub of the community, a place to wind down, forget your troubles, enjoy a chat with mates.

A friendly face behind the bar to offer a listening ear or advice when needed are among the qualities which make a good landlord or barmaid.

But pubs do so much more than just serve drinks and meals, their fundraising helps to bring cheer to deserving causes.

Here are some of our favourite photos from pubs in and around Chesterfield down the years.
