    PALACE OF THE PEAK! (21.01.2008 19:44)
    In my previous review about Haddon Hall I mentioned about how lucky I am to live near so many historic houses and castles. One of the most impressive, and possibly well known, of the ones not too far away form my house is Chatsworth House. WHERE IS CHATSWORTH? Chatsworth House is in North Derbyshire, not too far from Baslow and Bakewell. To get there by bus from Chesterfield (this is my [more...]

    A Real Taste of History (12.01.2008 13:38)
    The area of Derbyshire I live in is great for anyone with an interest in history. We have some excellent places to visit, including some notable stately homes, historic houses and castles. Chatsworth House is perhaps the most famous, but there are many others that are well worth a look. Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall, Peveril Castle and Eyam Hall are good examples of the other places on offer. [more...]

    Ye Royal Oak - Chesterfield, United Kingdom
    From Little Acorns! (03.10.2007 22:20)
    WHERE CAN I FIND THIS LITTLE GEM? The Royal Oak can be found in an area of Chesterfield known as The Shambles. This place was once part of Chesterfield Market and was originally called The Flesh Shambles the quarter of the market where the butchers plied their trade. Flesh Shambles is named after the place the butchers laid out their meat for sale outside their shops the old word for this [more...]

    WHAT A SHAMBLES! (04.06.2007 21:22)
    Chesterfield in Derbyshire is a very historic town on the edge of the Peak District. Part of the reason it built up into a town was its position as a market centre in the middle of a largely rural part of the country. There has been a market held in Chesterfield since the Saxon age and documentary evidence shows that there was an open air market from 1165 onwards, but it is not until King John [more...]

    Revolution House - Chesterfield, United Kingdom
    Small but Perfectly Formed! (03.06.2007 09:14)
    A couple of years ago I worked at Old Whittington Library for a few months. It is a very small library run by one person and it did get quite lonely, especially at lunchtime. Once you closed up there was no-one to talk to and not much to look at in a very small room - lots of books but not much in the way of conversation. Old Whittington is a small place on the outskirts of Chesterfield, so there [more...]

    Pants, Sweets and Smelly Fish! (02.06.2007 10:25)
    Chesterfield is a renowned Market town in Derbyshire. It has a good strategic position for trade, owning to its central location north of Derby and close to the M1. There has been a market held in the town since the settlement of was set up by the Romans around 70 AD. They established a fort on the towns present location (again due to the strategic position) but this soon fell into disuse and it [more...]

    Saint Mary and All Saints Church - Chesterfield, United Kingdom
    In-SPIRE-ational! (21.12.2006 11:31)
    I have found when visiting other places that even people who haven't heard of Chesterfield have heard of St Mary & All Saints Parish Church - even if they don't know that they have! They probably know it by its more regularly used name of the Crooked Spire. WHERE IS IT? The Crooked Spire is located in Chesterfield town centre, in north Derbyshire (Chesterfield can be reached from Junction [more...]

    Travel in Time through my Town. (13.12.2006 08:34)
    For a town with as much history as Chesterfield it is weird to think that it never used to have a museum at all. For years we had to rely on transient exhibitions in a room in the upstairs ofthe Tourist Information Centre. Thankfully, in 1994, a Museum and Art Gallery was opened (by Henry Sandon of Antiques Roadshow fame), and now we have a chance to show visitors a little of what has made our [more...]

    Ye olde trip to Jerusalem - Nottingham, United Kingdom
    A Trip to the Trip. (10.12.2006 16:11)
    The Trip to Jerusalem is a lovely pub in the centre of Nottingham. Stories claim that it is the oldest pub in England and the name comes from the Crusades the sign outside has the date 1189 on it. The legend goes that the pub, which is carved into the sandstone rocks behind, was first opened at this point in history; the year being the date that King Richard came to the throne. As King [more...]
