The key feature is the road name sign http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6885379 , indicating that this was the site of the toll bar on the turnpike road at the entrance to Chesterfield. The 1:2500 OS map of 1879 shows the chain as being sited between the two cottages, which may have housed the toll keepers.
