They range from 17th Century mansions to ‘stunning’ places of worship, and from cinemas to neglected and hidden town centre buildings.
Some are well-known landmarks and others are forgotten gems.
Chesterfield and District Civic Society believes many of the people and organisations which own the properties are ‘doing their best’ to maintain them but some need a lot of work to return them to former glories.
Historic England produces its own register of at risk buildings which includes places of worship, monuments, parks and gardens, conservation areas, battlefields and wreck sites that are listed and have been assessed and found to be at risk.
Here are nine buildings Chesterfield and District Civic Society considers are at risk:
5. Wingerworh Hall, surviving south range
Wingerworth Hall, surviving south range (now known as Estate House) probably dates from 1698, and altered in the 18th Century. Chesterfield Civic Society said: "Listed Grade II. Requires almost complete restoration to make it fit for habitation." Photo: Chesterfield and District Civic Society
6. Regal Cinema, Staveley
The former Regal Cinema, High Street, Staveley was opened 1939 and closed in 1966. Chesterfield Civic Society said: "It reopened a year later as the Wedgewood Cinema but closed again 1969. Reopened as a bingo club, closing in late 2007. After refurbishment once more reopened as the Regal Cinema in the summer of 2010, but closed in early 2011. Vacant since then." Photo: BWJ
7. Kilblean House
Kilblean House, on Corporation Street, Chesterfield, was built in the 1870s as a doctor’s house and surgery. It was converted into a private hotel in 1910, and latterly a licensed bar, but has been empty for several years. The Civic Society said: "The borough council has recently indicated that it is not interested in making the building an annexe to the Stephenson Memorial Hall, which it adjoins. The future is uncertain unless a new use is found." Photo: Brian Eyre
8. Former Baptist Church, Brewery Street
A late 19th Century church, closed in 1928, and later occupied by the Royal Hospital. It has stood empty for several years and the boundary wall has recently been damaged by a collision with a road vehicle. The Civic Society said: "A striking building worth saving if a new use can be found for it." Photo: Brian Eyre
