Derbyshire / Re: Hadfield Town Chesterfield ?
« on: Wednesday 30 June 10 21:47 BST (UK) »
I was born in Hadfield Town many years ago. It is next to the The Queens Park.I'm not sure of the origins of the name unless it was connected to Hadfield butchers? The properties were built in 1897 (there is a Year plaque on the end of Park Road nearest the Queens Park gates) and comprises Elton Street, New Street and Park Road.
The area still exists but hasn't changed that much.I have a photograph taken in the Edwardian period showing the Hadfield Tea rooms, which was Watkinson's newsagents and sweetshop when I was a kid (1960's)and is now a sandwich shop.
Best Regards Lord Walton
