Durrant Road, Chesterfield
« on: Sunday 03 April 11 12:36 BST (UK) »
On the 1911 census I have found a relative recorded as a lodger at 29 Durrant Road, Chesterfield, which appears to be a boarding house.  There are 63 single men, of various occupations,  mostly labourers but not exclusively, recorded as resident, with a male manager and his wife.

Does anyone have any idea what sort of establishment this could have been ?

Thanks -  Joan

Durrant Road was by the side of the old Royal Hospital, in the centre of the town, and most of the area has been redeveloped in recent years. Very few old buildings remain. It sounds like a large lodging house to me.
