BRIMINGTON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - The Community Centre used to be the Methodist Church. - The road that goes up past Posthouse Nursery used to be the main High Street and it was closed off and re routed behind the Three Horseshoes for safety reasons . Gills fruit shop was knocked down (which was a little wooden hut) to put the road in.
I lived in Station Road from 1947 until I got married in 1968. My parents had a shop at the bottom of Bank Street and end of Newbridge Lane. I left the secondary school in 1962 and my wife and I left Chesterfield in 1971. Finished up living in Stourbridge but still come back to watch the Spireites.
Yes.....I remember it well. I went to Brim boys in the late 60s til 71. I walked Newbridge lane every day. There use to be a railway bridge and dis used track, Ran between the canal and river rother.
Lol! No path out.. don't you hate it when that happens! Great video Andy. I love seeing the roads my ancestors traveled.. (A little nicer today than in the 1600s haha!) I even loved seeing the road sign showing all the places I've researched through the years/decades! I heard some familiar places! Thank you!
I remember when everyone used to for for nights out at Brim Tav (Brimmington Tavern), back in the days when Calow was pronounced "Cayla". (I'm 54, to give you an idea of timescale, & originally from Staveley)
I lived in Brinington and left in 1969 , never to return , even back then it was a trouble area , I spent most of my days being bullied by gangs of youths , the schools or the teachers did nothing to help the situation , My education suffered as I was in constant fear of the gangs that roamed the schools , Not a good experience in my life, Ive spent my life hating a gang leader ( Peter Cookson) who would always have at least 4 people with him when he started to bully people as back up

I want a home for rent in Chesterfield but I can't find I'm looking for 6 months
I do wish Chesterfield Borough Council would change their colours from red to blue in keeping with the football team - The Spirites.
Yeah I often think that!
