You’re going to need to be of a certain age and have a good memory to remember Chesterfield looking like this.

These old pictures show how our town looked over 40 years ago and the people who helped make it so special.

We have Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital at Calow - getting equipment ready for opening - in April 1984 as well as a Medieval Market which took place in town on 23rd July 1985.

There is also a throwback to the 1989 Comic Relief, events to mark the opening of the town’s new inner ring road five years earlier and the 1986 Miss Chesterfield competition.
