We’ve taken another look back to the Swinging Sixties with some great black and white pictures showing how the town has changed.
It was one of the most tumultuous and divisive decades in history, marked by a number of significant social movements.
Our collection includes images of the changing street scene and devlopments, events, football teams and the day Chesterfield's iconic Crooked Spire was engulfed in flames after a fire was sparked by an electrical fault.
