The view is northward and the entrance to the ex-Great Central Railway Central station had been off on the left: the 'Station' sign is for the only remaining Chesterfield station - the former Midland station. Since this photograph was taken a new trunk A61 road has been constructed (off to the left here) partly along the course of the ex-GC Chesterfield Loop of the GC main line between Nottingham and Sheffield. The Loop and its stations were closed effectively from 4/3/63, but goods continued to be dealt with at Chesterfield Central until 11/9/67.
