Chesterfield, a town steeped in history and sporting passion. Home to the Saltergate Stadium, where the beloved Chesterfield Football Club has left an indelible mark on the community. Nestled in England's picturesque Derbyshire county, this charming town boasts more than just football. As we stroll through its streets, we are transported back to 1797 when W. Fairbank meticulously drew a plan of nearby Sheffield. Engraved by Thomas Harris, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of Chesterfield's rich heritage. Speaking of heritage, let us not forget Markham Colliery and its significance in mining history. The blood, sweat, and tears shed underground have shaped the spirit of this resilient town. But it is not all about industry here; nature also plays a prominent role. The view from afar reveals both the town itself and the iconic Crooked Spire Church standing tall against an English backdrop. This architectural marvel never fails to captivate visitors from near and far. And if you're lucky enough to be here during springtime, you'll witness nature's artistry at its finest – crooked spires adorned with delicate blossoms that paint a picture-perfect scene. For sports enthusiasts seeking excitement beyond football matches at Saltergate Stadium or Proact Stadium (the club's new home), Chesterfield proudly represents League 2 in the Sky Bet Football League for season 2017/18. But there is more to Chesterfield than meets the eye; it is also home to Edensor Village within Chatsworth Estate – residence of none other than Duke of Devonshire himself. A visit here on a tranquil spring morning will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by its idyllic charm. So whether you come for football fever or seek solace amidst stunning landscapes and historic landmarks like St Mary and All Saints Parish Church with its famous Crooked Spire – Chesterfield promises an experience that will leave an everlasting impression.
