Hi Ann

Fairfield Nursing Home was on Fairfield Road, Saltergate, Chesterfield.  I can't remember what it is now.  I have googled it but not found anything.  Sorry I can't be more help.

Hi thanks Di and Tuppie. I think its probably been demolished now Di. Tuppie thats the correct road on the link you posted but the building would have probably been at the other end ie ...Saltergate

I would also like that to see that photo

Fairfield nursing Home is now the offices of Shorts builders on Fairfield road.  In 1948 it was run by Dr Alexander Duthie

Have had a look at the photo on the web, this is taken looking up Fairfield Road and the nursing home was more in the middle.   It was No 6 Fairfield Road, and is now offices of a building company.  I was born in this nursing home in 1948.  I am intending to take pictures next week, so will post one.  Anybody any more info about what happened to the home, was it closed or did it move elsewhere?
