Saltergate
A Memory of Chesterfield.
I lived at no. 37 Saltergate, next door to us was Hawksworths plumbers, and the council yard was nearby, I used to watch the steam roller coming out of the yard. There was a cobblers, paper shop, food shop and Harry Fish was near the bottom of Saltergate near to the Shakespeare Inn. There was also a shop that sold ladies' goods, nylons, scarfs and underwear I think. I used to go and watch the cash machine, it was a polished box which they wrote on, turned a handle and a bell rung.
I remember the new food hall of the Co-op being built, the town was wonderful lots of people, pubs, and I used to wander round, no one bothered me. I was only 7/8 years old. We left when they were going to demolish the houses. I was about 12/13, it was a sad affair, and they just filled the space with a ugly car park, what a shame. I also remember going to the off licence at the Shakespeare for beer in a bottle that I took with me, they did not seem to mind that I was only a child.
