Chesterfield Ragged School
This building was originally a lace factory but in 1878 it became a 'ragged school', part of a Victorian movement to provide free Sunday schools for the poorest children. It is recorded that 109 children turned up on the first day and the institution continued to thrive right through until the Second World War. After the war, however, in an age of the welfare state, the concept of a ragged school began to be seen as an anachronism. Furthermore, here at Chesterfield, the slum dwellings that had surrounded the building were disappearing. Nevertheless, the establishment did survive and continues to do so as a place of worship, now known as the 'Ragged School Evangelical Church', although Sunday schools are no longer held.

Chesterfield Coach Station
Coach station seems a slightly pretentious name for this modest facility on the site of the old bus station; certainly the two vehicles seen here are on ordinary stage carriage services. The double decker is a Stagecoach Gold branded bus on the X17 Sheffield - Matlock route; the other vehicle belongs to Hulleys of Baslow and is also on a Matlock service albeit via a different route. Hulleys is a long-established Peak District operator that traces its origins back to 1921; despite all the turmoil in the bus industry it has survived although it is no longer owned by the Hulley family.
