<\/a>The special plaque which was put up in 2002 to let everyone know about the history of the building.<\/p><\/div>\n
In this edition of \u201cStill Standing!\u201d we take a visit to Derbyshire for views of the remaining parts of the old Chatsworth Road Depot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The depot on Chatsworth Road was the home of trams, both horse and electric, for nearly 45 years between 1882 and 1927. The structure was originally just a small building with just the one access track but was rebuilt to allow four tracks and then in 1914 it received a further extension. It was this condition that it remained until the tramway closed in 1927. Throughout the history of Chesterfield\u2019s tramways it remained the sole depot.<\/p>\n
Now part of a business park \u2013 with the Tramway Tavern pub close-by, a building we\u2019ve featured before on these pages thanks to its sign \u2013 some of the old yard and depot building remains and even as a plaque to mark the spot.<\/p>\n
