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:
9. Former Primitive Methodist Church, Holywell Cross
Built in 1881 and after closure as a church was occupied by the YMCA and licensed clubs. The Civic Society said: "Currently the subject of a flat conversion scheme but no visible sign of progress. A prominent landmark on conspicuous site." Photo: Brian Eyre
