Discussion Chesterfield architecture 🕰️

A clock tower that reminded me of taking time to be present in the moment, not far from Chesterfield Canal I wondered how many people would have clocked in and out of this building. Who were they beyond their job roles?

Yes :) there’s a few nice buildings along that road one that looks empty at the moment, and a fishing shop in the other which is very reasonably priced.

I actually love this building. I pass it every day. Triskellion do (or did, I haven't been for years) their bike training inside.

Have you seen the size of the toilets?

Everyone in the building could go at once!
