Holywell Street, Chesterfield, Derbys.
The former Royal Hospital (1859-1984/6), that now houses offices, faces the large Holywell Cross car park encompassed by various roads (hence it is sometimes referred to as "The Doughnut Roundabout"). The new Chesterfield & North Derbyshire Royal Hospital in Calow opened in April 1984. In 1986 building work began on a maternity and gynaecology unit on the Calow site and its opening in 1989 led to the final facilities in the town centre being closed. In 1984, the hospital was purchased by an orthopaedic surgeon who converted the lower portion of the hospital, adjoining Infirmary Road and Durrant Road, into the Alexandra Private Hospital. This seems to have functioned until the early 1990s.

Holywell Street, Chesterfield, Derbys.
The main facades of Holywell House face south-east and north-east onto a large car parking area. Holywell Street is just visible behind the railings beyond the porch. This Grade II-listed early C19th building is currently an annexe belonging to Holywell Healthcare, a GP medical practice with other local surgeries. It was reopened by the Duchess of Devonshire in 1993 following renovations. As it is adjacent to the former Royal Hospital site it may have been an annexe to that in the past?
