Love it  :)

Makes me wonder what the building was originally built for ?
Surely it was something before the NUM took it over ?
Who knows ?

The Derbyshire Union of Mineworkers was formed in 1887 and had its headquarters in Chesterfield, could it have been built for them? That pic was taken about 1900 so I think it fits. :)

Can't win, LOL
At least someone had a feeble attempt at removing the graffiti  ;)

Removing the bulk of the graffiti was quite easy, but I nearly broke my neck getting the bollards up there... :-[
