Title: Another Chesterfield pub bites the dust.
Post by: Fly on October 18, 2013, 06:56:14 PM

Bit sad to see this :-(
On the rare occasions I have, 'gone round town', for a booze up over the past 30 year, I always liked this place.

Never really went into town drinking, but New Years Eve we always called in there pre-dinner and dance for a tipple
Good times  :)

Apparently it's going to be a micro brewery.

Something makes me think you know Dave. I don't, and it's bed time for me.
Just done a quick google, and failed LOL  ;D

Its a shame as the bell was a good hangout when the basement was open...it was very crowded but they played good music...its a sign of the times for chesterfield

Here you go. Amber Taverns.
Website, though there's no news about The Bell on it.
Looks like some sort of franchise thing.

Also noticed the place next to the old Comet site is up for sale. Wasn't this Harry Fish's fur shop ?

Yes it was.

It was the schoolrooms for the Unitarian Chapel on Elder Way originally - went to scouts and youth club there in the late 50s early 60s.
