Great photos show life at historic Chesterfield firms Bryan Donkins, Chesterfield Tube Works and Trebor sweet factory

They were huge names in the town – as well as place of work for thousands of Chesterfield people down the years.

Here we take a look back at life in the town’s big-name factories down the decades.

We have been working with the local studies department of Chesterfield Library and Chesterfield museum and delving into our archives to bring you these great images from yesteryear.
