The geology of the area about 10 miles west of the fall line of the James River at near present-day Richmond, Virginia includes a basin of coal which was one of the earliest mined in the Virginia Colony. This natural resource was mined by the French Huguenot refugees who settled there and others beginning around 1700.
By the second quarter of the 18th century, a number of private coal pits were operating on a commercial scale in coalfield located the area we now know as Midlothian. Miners immigrated to Chesterfield from Wales, England and Scotland. The Wooldridge family from East Lothian and West Lothian in Scotland was among the first to undertake coal mining in the area. It is likely that the mining community was eventually named after their Mid-Lothian Mining enterprise, a combination of their two home town names. The Heths, beginning with Colonel Henry "Harry" Heth (died 1821), who emigrated about 1759, who were English investors, opened coal pits in the county.
Chesterfield is a market town and a borough of Derbyshire, United Kingdom. It lies 24 miles (39km) north of Derby, on a confluence of the rivers Rother and Hipper. It has a population of 103,800 (2011), making it the largest town within the administrative borders of Derbyshire, and the second largest settlement in the traditional county after the unitary authority of the city of Derby.
Archaeology of the town traces its beginnings to the 1st century and the construction of a Romanfort, which became redundant and was abandoned once peace was achieved. Later an Anglian village grew up on the site; the name Chesterfield stems from the Anglo-Saxon words 'caester' (a Roman fort) and 'feld' (grazing land).
Chesterfield received its market charter in 1204 and has a moderate sized market on three days a week. The town sits on a large coalfield which formed a major part of the area's economy until the 1980s. Little evidence of the mining industry remains today.
The town's best known landmark is the Church of St Mary and All Saints, popularly known as the "Crooked Spire", which was originally constructed in the 14th-century.
The current boundaries include the town of Chesterfield, together with areas to the north towards Dronfield and to the east towards Bolsover, comprising the Borough of Chesterfield wards: Brimington North, Brimington South, Brockwell, Dunston, Hasland, Hollingwood and Inkersall, Holmebrook, Linacre, Loundsley Green, Middlecroft and Poolsbrook, Moor, Old Whittington, Rother, St Helen’s, St Leonard’s, Walton, and West. The other two Borough of Chesterfield wards (Barrow Hill and New Whittington; Lowgates and Woodthorpe) fall within the neighbouring North East Derbyshire seat. Boundary changes before the 2010 general election, when the Mid Derbyshire constituency was created, meant that Chesterfield lost New Whittington to North East Derbyshire but otherwise retained its shape.
The town of Chesterfield lies just outside the Peak District southwest of Sheffield. It is noted for the Church of St Mary and All Saints with its famous 'crooked spire' The constituency borders the constituencies of Bolsover and Derbyshire North East.

Chesterfield and the Lost Great Central Railway
In the first part of this series on Chesterfield's Lost Railways we look at the Lost Great Central Railway that once ran through the historic Derbyshire town.
Famed for it's croocked spire, Chesterfield once had 3 railway comanies and 3 railway stations dotted around the town. Today only the former Midland Railway station remains as Chesterfield railway station. The other two were Chesterfield Market Place (LD&ECR) and Chesterfield Central (GCR).
The Midland Railway arrived in Chesterfield in 1840 and the town has had a station ever since this time. The second railway to arrive in the town came in 1892 when the Great Central opened their Chesterfield Loop line from the main GCR mainline at Staveley. Their station opened simply titled Chesterfield but later changed it's name to Chesterfie...

The second railway to arrive in the town came in 1892 when the Great Central opened their Chesterfield Loop line from the main GCR mainline at Staveley. Their station opened simply titled Chesterfield but later changed it's name to Chesterfield Central. The station closed in 1963 and the route of the line became the A61 Chesterfield Relief Road.
Just the south of the station was the Chesterfield Tunnel. A 410 yard long tunnel that cut under the east of the town centre. The tunnel still exists under the town, sealed off at one end, but the south portal can still be partially seen.
******A full video of Chesterfield Tunnel can be found on Patrick Dickinson's youtube channel - https://youtu.be/CfoOjsYc7dk ********
The 1892 date stone that sat above the north portal of the tunnel can be seen at Hollingwood Hub on the Chesterfield Canal, which was built into the abutments of the former bridge where the GCR crossed the canal. Link to Chesterfield Canal Trust Website - https://chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk/1892/
After leaving the disused railway tunnel, the route is once again consumed by the A61 dual carriageway and the Horns Bridge Island roundabout. Horns Bridge was once a point where the 3 railway companies crossed on three levels. Today only the Midland remains and the viaduct and bridges have been knocked down. - almost all, that is.

CHESTERFIELD | The most underrated town in the UK?
Gimbal Walk TV visits Chesterfield, Derbyshire - a town with a crooked spire close to Sheffield and Derby, to see if this really is the most underrated UK town.
Chesterfield is a town we have visited before and we have decided to travel back to this market town close to Sheffield and see what's here and what the town has to offer.
Best known for the church with the crooked spire, Chesterfield is a town that I think has so much more to offer whether that's the magnificent town hall, the old historic buildings scattered throughout the town, the winding wheel theatre, the shops, the pubs, the market and market hall and more.
The thing I find with Chesterfield is that if you mention it to locals, many of them will have a bit of a moan about the town centre, and people from outside the town will tell me that they don't really know that much about the place. Chesterfield is perhaps best known for the crooked spire of its Church of Saint Mary and All Saints and is why the local football team is known as The Spireites.
So let's have a walking tour around Chesterfield Town Centre and take a look at what's here, and what Chesterfield has within it's town centre.
Visit Chesterfield for a great day out or to stay. Brilliantly located in the centre of the UK with superb road, rail and air links, the town is famous for its 800 year-old open air market and the unique and unusual 'Crooked Spire' Church.
Whether it's a town or village experience, contemporary or traditional housing, buying or renting, living in Chesterfield and the surrounding area is affordable and offers something for everyone. With friendly and welcoming communities it's a safe place to live and bring up a family.
Chesterfield is in The Midlands and Sheffield is in the North. If you travel from Chesterfield to Sheffield on the dual carriageway there is a brow on the hill where the watershed divides either north or south.
Chesterfield in Derbyshire is a town of great character with a history of significance way beyond our immediate area.
Chesterfield has a fabulous offer for businesses, residents and visitors alike. Chesterfield is far more than a historic market town in Derbyshire with an iconic Crooked Spire.
Chesterfield is a market town and unparished area in the Borough of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, 24 miles north of Derby and 11 miles south of Sheffield at the confluence of the River Rother and River Hipper.

The geology of the area about 10 miles west of the fall line of the James River at near present-day Richmond, Virginia includes a basin of coal which was one of the earliest mined in the Virginia Colony. This natural resource was mined by the French Huguenot refugees who settled there and others beginning around 1700.
By the second quarter of the 18th century, a number of private coal pits were operating on a commercial scale in coalfield located the area we now know as Midlothian. Miners immigrated to Chesterfield from Wales, England and Scotland. The Wooldridge family from East Lothian and West Lothian in Scotland was among the first to undertake coal mining in the area. It is likely that the mining community was eventually named after their Mid-Lothian Mining enterprise, a combination of their two home town names. The Heths, beginning with Colonel Henry "Harry" Heth (died 1821), who emigrated about 1759, who were English investors, opened coal pits in the county.
