Since the start of the year, work has been taking place to boost the appearance of the location – and our photographer Brian Eyre has been along to take these pictures.
The conversion of the old Co-op store into Premier Inn was part of the £19.9million Northern Gateway project. This has already seen a new multi-storey car park open at Saltergate – and an enterprise centre consisting of new offices is set to launch on part of the Donut roundabout later this year.

Mark Hill, commercial property director at Jomast Developments – the company behind the conversion of the former Co-op – told the Derbyshire Times: “The recently completed improvements to Elder Way, made as part of the Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield project, have transformed the area. The new ‘boulevard-style’ pedestrianised eating area outside the building has created an attractive environment in the town." Photo: Brian Eyre
Mr Hill added: “I am confident the completion of the outdoor improvements, together with the full lifting of lockdown restrictions, will lead to renewed interest in the units at Elder Way from food and drink businesses in the area and further afield.” Photo: Brian Eyre
