Chesterfield is a thriving market town in Derbyshire and the centre of much of the industrial and commercial life of the county. Located only six miles from the M1 motorway, Chesterfield has excellent road and rail links with London and the South East as well as all points north. Chesterfield sits on a large coal field and relied heavily on coal mining for its economy until 2002 when the final colliery closed; although the industry had been in decline since the 1980s. However, the town has a good industrial and engineering base and the number of people employed in the manufacturing industry is above the national average. Because of its good transport links Chesterfield has become the business centre of Derbyshire and the headquarters for many national businesses. Check out the Chesterfield Business Guide for more information. Chesterfield is home to one of the largest open air markets in Britain, the stalls sitting either side of the historic Market Hall. In the middle of town, a collection of narrow medieval streets make up "The Shambles", which house The Royal Oak, one of Britain's oldest pubs. The town’s famous landmark, the Crooked Spire, is visible for miles around and there are many theories as to why it is twisted and leans nearly ten feet from its centre; the favourite is probably related to warping but there are more colourful tales. The spire sits on the tower of St Mary and all Saints, the town’s ancient church, the largest in Derbyshire, which is Grade 1 listed and dates from the 14th century. There is excellent shopping to be had in Chesterfield; as well as the open market there is an indoor market hall, a shopping precinct that was completed in the 1970s, several retail parks and a number of shopping streets combining High Street chains with specialist shops.
