Looking at an ariel map, it doesn't seem to have any housing on it, it looks like it is in some kind of business park or industrial estate.

There's certainly no housing left on Durrant Road.
There's a new Court House, some car parks and office buildings.

Hi Wilf,

There is no pub on Durrant Road now, and I can't remember there having been one in the past forty years.

Thanks Nick

My ancestors were born and lived at 8 Durrant Road...My mam, although very sketchy, remembers going to Chesterfield as a child to some relation who owned or ran a pub. She says she remembers it had a large round bar...

I have since found that they also lived at Schofields yard and possibly Knifesmiths gate which I have managed to get photo's of...

Thanks for the reply Nick and a great Christmas to you and yours....

All the best

Wilf
