This must have been taken very shortly before work began on the demolition of Evesham Street. E A Hodges has become just another branch of Dillons, presumably as a result of a take-over.
It is unlikely that this placid animal was anything other than a family pet, since farmers in this area would still have been reliant on ponies and horses for both transport and labour.
The pavilion has lost its minarets, but it is now equipped with both an indoor snack bar and a self-service buffet. We can also see Prince's Park with its colonnade to the right of the casino.
This is another of the Lincolnshire churches that has Anglo-Saxon long and short stone work in the tower.
The Castle, in 1955 the Ravenscroft School, a boys' prep school, is a late 16th-century house of three storeys with gabled attics and a three-storey porch and stair turret, both crowned with medieval-style
Only 30 years later, it has become just another branch of suburbia. Some picturesque cottages were destroyed to widen these roads and create the roundabout, which now dominates the view.

Two helmeted local 'bobbies' stride towards the camera in another view of the Market Place in Chesterfield, looking up the High Street towards the famous Crooked Spire of the parish church of St Mary
