CHESTERFIELD | The most underrated town in the UK?
CHESTERFIELD | The most underrated town in the UK?
Gimbal Walk TV visits Chesterfield, Derbyshire - a town with a crooked spire close to Sheffield and Derby, to see if this really is the most underrated UK town.
Chesterfield is a town we have visited before and we have decided to travel back to this market town close to Sheffield and see what's here and what the town has to offer.
Best known for the church with the crooked spire, Chesterfield is a town that I think has so much more to offer whether that's the magnificent town hall, the old historic buildings scattered throughout the town, the winding wheel theatre, the shops, the pubs, the market and market hall and more.
The thing I find with Chesterfield is that if you mention it to locals, many of them will have a bit of a moan about the town centre, and people from outside the town will tell me that they don't really know that much about the place. Chesterfield is perhaps best known for the crooked spire of its Church of Saint Mary and All Saints and is why the local football team is known as The Spireites.
So let's have a walking tour around Chesterfield Town Centre and take a look at what's here, and what Chesterfield has within it's town centre.
Visit Chesterfield for a great day out or to stay. Brilliantly located in the centre of the UK with superb road, rail and air links, the town is famous for its 800 year-old open air market and the unique and unusual 'Crooked Spire' Church.
Whether it's a town or village experience, contemporary or traditional housing, buying or renting, living in Chesterfield and the surrounding area is affordable and offers something for everyone. With friendly and welcoming communities it's a safe place to live and bring up a family.
Chesterfield is in The Midlands and Sheffield is in the North. If you travel from Chesterfield to Sheffield on the dual carriageway there is a brow on the hill where the watershed divides either north or south.
Chesterfield in Derbyshire is a town of great character with a history of significance way beyond our immediate area.
Chesterfield has a fabulous offer for businesses, residents and visitors alike. Chesterfield is far more than a historic market town in Derbyshire with an iconic Crooked Spire.
Chesterfield is a market town and unparished area in the Borough of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, 24 miles north of Derby and 11 miles south of Sheffield at the confluence of the River Rother and River Hipper.

STAVELEY: Chesterfield Parish #2 of 2
Charles Paxton Markham played a huge role in shaping this town through time. It was his company Markham & Co. and its successor who owned ironstone quarries, several coal mines (including Markham Colliery), chemical works, ironworks and an engineering works specialising in mining and tunnelling equipment. The chemical works was famous for making P-aminophenol, which is a key ingredient of Paracetamol.
There’s a lot of railway history in this town, including the impressive Barrow Hill Roundhouse. This is a town that was once formerly served by four railway stations on two separate lines. One of those lines was the former Great Central Main Line and the massive “Works” was one of the stops on the line.
The site of the works dominates this place, but most of the central area of the town is dominated by multi storey flats and a small market place. There’s plenty of amenities here and as a small town I found it to be very welcoming. That’s likely to be once again that famed Derbyshire hospitality!
Francis Rodes who was a judge, was born here and built the nearby Barlborough Hall as well as helping to found Netherthorpe School. The school was established in 1572 by four local notable families; Frecheville, De Rodes and Sitwell, which today comprise three of the school’s houses, with Cavendish being the fourth.
There’s a whole host of other smaller settlements that fall within these boundaries. Hopefully I’ve done enough to cram them all into one video. It’s the last hurrah for Chesterfield on the channel, this is STAVELEY.

Places to see in ( Grassington - UK )
Grassington is a market town and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. The population at the 2011 Census was 1,126. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the town is situated in Wharfedale, about 8 miles (10 km) north-west from Bolton Abbey, and is surrounded by limestone scenery. Nearby villages include Linton, Threshfield, Hebden, Conistone and Kilnsey.
The Domesday Book lists Grassington as part of the estate of Gamal Barn including 7 carucates of ploughland (840 acres/350ha) including Grassington, Linton and Threshfield. The Norman conquest of England made it part of the lands of Gilbert Tison. But by 1118 Tison had suffered a demotion and his lands returned to the king then given to Lord Percy.
Originally the settlement was spelt as Gherinstone and also was documented as Garsington or Gersington. The name Grassington derives variously from the Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon and Gothic languages and means either the town of the grassy ings or a farmstead surrounded by grass.
Grassington was historically a township in the parish of Linton in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974. Although often described by local people as a village, Grassington was granted a Royal Charter for a market and fair in 1282 giving it market town status.
Grassington is the main residential and tourist centre in Upper Wharfedale. Centred on its small cobbled square are shops, public houses, the village museum, small cafes, restaurants and hotels. Grassington Folk Museum houses a collection which tells the story of Wharfedale. Grassington Festival is a two-week-long annual event started in 1980, with music, performance and visual arts, held in a number of venues around the village.
Grassington is served by the B6265, which runs between Skipton and Green Hammerton via Pateley Bridge and Boroughbridge (being a more circuitous route that the A59 road which connects Skipton and Green Hammerton). Buses connect Grassington with Ilkley and Skipton operating a moderate service to Skipton, but only a three-day a week service to Ilkley. The town used to have a joint railway station terminus with Threshfield on the Yorkshire Dales Railway. The station was located on the west side of the River Wharfe, so it was not actually in Grassington.
( Grassington - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Grassington . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Grassington - UK

Chesterfield and the Lost Great Central Railway
In the first part of this series on Chesterfield's Lost Railways we look at the Lost Great Central Railway that once ran through the historic Derbyshire town.
Famed for it's croocked spire, Chesterfield once had 3 railway comanies and 3 railway stations dotted around the town. Today only the former Midland Railway station remains as Chesterfield railway station. The other two were Chesterfield Market Place (LD&ECR) and Chesterfield Central (GCR).
The Midland Railway arrived in Chesterfield in 1840 and the town has had a station ever since this time. The second railway to arrive in the town came in 1892 when the Great Central opened their Chesterfield Loop line from the main GCR mainline at Staveley. Their station opened simply titled Chesterfield but later changed it's name to Chesterfield Central. The station closed in 1963 and the route of the line became the A61 Chesterfield Relief Road.
Just the south of the station was the Chesterfield Tunnel. A 410 yard long tunnel that cut under the east of the town centre. The tunnel still exists under the town, sealed off at one end, but the south portal can still be partially seen.
******A full video of Chesterfield Tunnel can be found on Patrick Dickinson's youtube channel - ********
The 1892 date stone that sat above the north portal of the tunnel can be seen at Hollingwood Hub on the Chesterfield Canal, which was built into the abutments of the former bridge where the GCR crossed the canal. Link to Chesterfield Canal Trust Website -
After leaving the disused railway tunnel, the route is once again consumed by the A61 dual carriageway and the Horns Bridge Island roundabout. Horns Bridge was once a point where the 3 railway companies crossed on three levels. Today only the Midland remains and the viaduct and bridges have been knocked down. - almost all, that is.

Bridgwater - Town Centre Panorama | Somerset | England | UK - 4k 360°
If you're looking for a lively and historic town to visit, Bridgwater is the perfect destination. Located in the heart of Somerset, this market town has a rich legacy as a port and commercial centre, and is home to some of the region's most famous street carnivals.
The most famous of these is the Bridgwater Carnival, which takes place every November and is Europe's largest illuminated procession. Residents from near and far come together to witness this incredible spectacle, so be sure to check out the official Bridgwater Carnival website for this year's date and accommodation information.

Staveley is a village in the District of South Lakeland in Cumbria, England. Historically part of Westmorland, it is situated 4 miles northwest of Kendal where the River Kent is joined by its tributary the Gowan. It is also known as Staveley-in-Westmorland and Staveley-in-Kendal to distinguish it from Staveley-in-Cartmel (a small village near Newby Bridge which is now in Cumbria but was previously in Lancashire). There are three civil parishes – Nether Staveley, Over Staveley and Hugill (part). Their total population at the 2011 Census was 1,593 but this includes those living in the hamlet of Ings in Hugill parish.
The village is strategically placed at the junction of the rivers Kent and Gowan, at the mouth of the Kentmere Valley. Three hills overlook the village; Reston Scar on the north side on which much of the village is built, Piked Howe to the northeast known to the locals as Craggy Wood and Lily Fell to the south in the direction of the village of Crook on the opposite side of the A591 bypass. Piked Howe and Reston Scar sit either side of the opening into the Kentmere Valley. Both mark the beginning of a larger horseshoe chain of hills known as the Kentmere Round.
The nearest village to the west is Ings, a small settlement which now shares schools and parish minister with Staveley. To the south of the village is Crook, and to the north Kentmere which can only be accessed by road via Staveley village centre, meaning that the two villages have had a close relationship with each other for many centuries. But the village which had the strongest links to Staveley in more recent years is arguably Burneside which is the next stop on the railway line to the east on the way to Kendal. National Cycle Route 6 and the Dales Way footpath run through Burneside and Staveley.
In the 18th century a turnpike road from Kendal to Ambleside was constructed through Staveley. In Dorothy Wordsworth's journal for 1802 there are references to an inn at Staveley (possibly the Eagle and Child). In the Middle Ages, the mills at Staveley produced woollen cloth. During the Industrial Revolution there was cotton production at Staveley, and there is an 18th-century mill building from this time. The cotton industry shifted to Lancashire, and the Staveley mills were converted to work wood. By 1850 bobbin turning was the main industry in the valley.
A conservation area protects much of the centre of Staveley. There are proposals to extend the conservation area across the River Kent to include a garden designed by Thomas Mawson. Staveley has a number of listed buildings, including its oldest building, a tower, all that remains of a medieval church dedicated to St Margaret. The structure is maintained as a clock-tower: on it is a plaque commemorating the Staveley men of F Company, Second V B Border Regiment, who served in the South Africa Campaign of 1900–01 under Major John Thompson.

LONDON: Best of the royal parks - ST JAMES'S PARK, ???? what to see & all sites
St James's Park, London - full tour of St James's Park in London. Let's visit St James's Park which is at the heart of London and covers 23 hectares (58 acres). St. James’s Park offers a little something for everyone. St. James’s Park remains to be one of the most popular parks in London – not to mention that it’s the oldest of the Royal Parks in London too.
Not only does St. James’s Park have stunning flowerbeds and wide open green spaces, it’s also home to 15 different species of birds. Some of the many other animals you can find in St. James’s Park include squirrels, water birds, ducks, geese, swans, woodpeckers, owls and much more.
The Blue Bridge (which is located above the lake) is famous in its own right. While standing on the bridge you can enjoy stunning views of Buckingham Palace, and if you look east you will see the Swire fountain, the Horse Guards Parade (with the Horse Guards building) and Whitehall Court.
There are also two islands (West Island and Duck Island) within St. James’s Park, and on the south side of Duck Island you will see a Tiffany fountain perched on a Pelican Rock, with picturesque views of the London Eye and Big Ben in the distance.
There are two famous monuments in St. James’s Park as well, one of which commemorates the soldiers of the Guards regiments who perished during the World Wars. To the north you will see the Royal Artillery South Africa Memorial which was built to commemorate the Royal artillery who died during the Boer Wars.

Staveley Works Station and Lock November 1986
Staveley Works was a typical MS & LR station with two platforms each with a timber building. Each building had a substantial canopy stretching almost up to the platform edge. The booking office was located in the down side building. Unusually, the two platforms were linked by a pedestrian subway. The smaller 'up' platform building lost it's canopy, probably in the 1950's while that on the down platform was built. The Chesterfield Canal ran underneath the station at its east end with a lock and lockkeeper's cottage sited on the south side of the station.
The station was located in an area of heavy industry, the largest employer in the area being the Staveley Works Foundry which provided much of the passenger revenue but this was not maintained after WW2. An analysis of passenger traffic carried out by BR for the week ending 19 August 1961 showed only 288 passengers using the station which closed on 4th Match 1963 when the Great Central local service was withdrawn.
CHESTERFIELD ROUND-UP
Hello CHESTERFIELD people!
It's been a while I know, but finally the CHESTERFIELD ROUND-UP video is here!
Using information that's been sent to me by all you lovely people out there, this is the video that catches all those comments and anecdotes and whatever else you wanted me to talk about, that I either missed or got wrong in the two parishes of CHESTERFIELD!
In alphabetical order, I go through the district, although here there was really only one to talk about and that was Staveley. I received no information for Brimington but that doesn't mean that you can't still add things to the Brimington video's additional information!
North East Derbyshire's version of this will be coming very soon! Cheers all, enjoy the round up and I'll see you down the road.
