9. 61 Saltergate, Chesterfield
Formerly known as the Yellow Lion pub and attached to the grade II listed 63 Saltergate, which dates from around the early 19th century. The pub frontage looks to have been added at a later date, probably from the earlier part of the 20th century. The former pub frontage is an attractive addition to the street scene with large arched timber windows with stone dressings on the ground floor. A prominent and attractive building which has group value with the adjacent listed building. Photo: google
10. The Burlington, Burlington Street, Chesterfield
Prominent two-storey brick building with stone mullion windows. The ground floor pub facade is traditionally constructed in timber. There are stone diamond motifs on the chimney stacks. The rear and sides of the building are connected to the 1990s Vicar Lane shopping centre. Photo: Google
