Welcome to

this emergency

publication

Y

OU will have already realised there is something slightly

different about this edition of your local magazine.

The Coronavirus crisis sees Heron Publications combining our two

Chesterfield publications, Twist and Wings, for ease of production

and also to ensure this magazine reaches your house or your

computer screen as soon as possible.

We are keen to continue to provide a shop window for local

businesses who are adapting to new ways. They are keen to get

their messages across to local residents and know they can rely on

our company’s community publications to help them do that.

Our pages include helpful advice and emergency contact

information, together with features and other articles which we hope

might temporarily take your mind away from the world’s ills.

So for starters, we would like to make a couple of introductions...

If you’re a regular reader of Twist, you might like to know that our

other local title, Wings, is delivered to homes in Wingerworth,

Tupton and Ashover. And if you usually receive Wings, welcome to

the world of Twist, the magazine which is delivered to the opposite

side of Chesterfield.

Is that clear? We hope so. And whether you wish to call this edition

‘Wist’ or ‘Twings’ is entirely up to you!

Finally, our most sincere thanks to everyone who has pulled out all

the stops to produce this magazine, including staff who have been

working from home, our printers at Buxton Press, outlets which have

been happy to help circulate our magazines to their customers, as

they shop for their groceries, and businesses which want to continue

to advertise with us, making this magazine possible. We reckon they

fully deserve everyone’s support, both in these dark days and in the

future.

Take care, look out for your neighbours and family members and

take on board the advice being put out for the safety of yourself,

your loved ones, your friends and your community.

Keep busy on the Home Front

Remaining occupied at home is essential to help

you stay positive during these uncertain times.

Deborah Wain has a few suggestions

S

& Wings

tep back in time:

Remember the days before Netflix, smartphones and Xbox

when families came together to play board games?

Why not dig out some of your old favourites from the loft and have

a games night?

Scrabble offers timeless fun and is a way of getting the kids to

practise their spelling. Or how about a card game? There are some

simple ones that young children can join in too. Other retro pasttimes

perfect for a reboot include jigsaws and Lego.

Evoke musical memories:

How long is it since you went

through your collection of vinyl

records or CDs?

Although streaming services

allow you to listen to many

songs, some tracks, especially

those recorded by small or

obscure bands, aren’t available.

If you’ve got the means to play

them, nothing takes you back to

school or student days like your

favourite old tunes; jumps,

scratches and all!

Sort out your photographs:

Play your old favourites

With hundreds of images stored on devices, precious memories

are in danger of being lost. Go through pictures, delete and save

accordingly, and get the best snaps ready for printing.

You’ll free up storage and, when Christmas comes around, you’ll

have a head start with prints to frame.

Keep a diary:

We’re living through unprecedented

times and everyone’s lives are

taking new courses.

Jot down your experiences and

thoughts in a diary format for future

generations of your family to read

and learn from. You could be the

next Samuel Pepys, Ann Frank... or

Bridget Jones!

Samuel Pepys

Research your family history:

There are millions of documents online to use to piece together

your family tree.

Start by gathering as much information as you can from relatives

(an excuse to check on their well-being).

Be warned, genealogy is addictive and will keep you absorbed for

hours!

Learn something new:

Ever fancied learning

another language but

never had the time?

The prolonged period at

home could provide just

the opportunity to brush

up on basic Spanish or

French to try out on future

holidays.

Same goes for learning

the guitar, or other

musical instruments you

bought but can’t wrestle a

tune from.

Head for the kitchen:

Eating healthily has never been more important and, with time to

cook from scratch, try out some new recipes.

If you’ve got a bread or soupmaker that’s never been used, set it

to work – or just make your own.

Enjoy nature:

Lavish some attention on your garden, or the containers on your

balcony.

Build a compost heap or start a compost bin to nourish your

garden in the future and cut down on food waste.

Put out food for your garden birds and keep a log of how many

species you spot.

Be a culture vulture:

Our cultural institutions may be closed for the time being, but they

are finding ways to engage with the public digitally.

Take a virtual museum tour or watch a performance as it’s live

streamed.

If you don’t have the Internet, read one of the classics or start

writing your own!

Educate your pets:

See how clever your

cat or dog really is by

teaching it a new

trick or two.

You’ll be surprised

what you can achieve

together and this

could bring both of

you a lot of joy,

create necessary

mental stimuli for

your pet and deepen

your relationship.

Teach an old dog new tricks

Get crafty:

Channel your inner ‘Blue Peter’ and get the kids stuck into some

painting, collaging and model-making.

Put some bright drawings in your window for elderly neighbours

to enjoy.

Paint plant pots, create tags out of old birthday and Christmas

cards, and make your own gift-wrap by decorating brown

paper.

For something a bit more permanent, upcycle an old table or

lamp.

Clean, tidy and mend:

Make the most of the lighter days and the extra time by powering

through your ‘to-do’ list.

Clean out cupboards and wash cushions, curtains, pillows and

small duvets.

Touch up paintwork with those left-over tins in the shed. Give your

lawnmower or bike a service. Valet your car. Sew on detached

buttons and darn holes in your socks!

Pamper yourself:

Turn your home

into a spa and use

some of those

gorgeous toiletries

given by friends and

family.

Do your own minimanicure,

pedicure

or facial or treat a

loved one.

Find out those festive toiletries

Use your imagination:

Try to forget your worries for a while and play with the young

children who, live with you or your pets. They’ll love all the

attention you give.

Turn everyday items into an obstacle course in the garden, set up

an Easter Egg Hunt, build a den or a fairy garden.

School’s out for summer

The interruption to our children’s education

is nothing new to editor Mike Firth and his

family. He recalls two previous occasions

when schools had to turn away their pupils

D

AUGHTER Olivia has worked hard towards the

GCSE examinations she should be taking shortly.

Plenty of homework, after-school study groups, revision

for her mocks... she has been conscientious throughout.

She’s disappointed all her hard work has come to an

abrupt end, even though she is confident the showing she

has put in over the past 18 months will lead to decent

estimated grades.

However, there is no hiding from the fact that the phrase

“school closure” is a dream come true for any young

person sitting in a classroom day after day. It certainly

was for me.

Way back in the early days of 1974, I was trying to come

to terms with my own secondary education, displaying

nowhere near as much diligence and dedication as Olivia.

In between completing occasional pieces of homework,

I was vaguely aware that the news programmes on TV

were repeatedly mentioning the phrase “three-day week”.

Miners worked to rule due to proposed pay caps so, by

the end of 1973, coal reserves had run extremely low.

This forced the government into action.

The nation limped along as commercial users of

electricity were limited to three consecutive days'

consumption each week. And our local evening paper

listed timetables showing which houses could expect their

power supplies to be curtailed in the days ahead.

It was already an exciting era for us schoolkids. Times

were glam as we bopped along to the outrageous

performances of Slade, Sweet and T Rex on ‘Top of the

Pops’, but the really big news came one morning when

the headteacher summoned us all into the hall.

The school electricity was off, the boiler wasn’t working

and there was no heating - cue pretend shivering from the lot

of us - so as there was no way of knowing when power might

be restored, regrettably, we would all need to collect our coats

and return to our homes.

I had just removed my school tie, zipped up my anorak and

made it out of the school gates when there was a gasp from

all my mates. The street lights had come on. Teachers were

chasing after us, their leather elbow patches glinting in the

8

World War II evacuees carrying their boxed gas masks

Homework by candlelight during the dark days of early 1974

early morning sunshine.

So did we turn around and file back into maths, physics

and chemistry lessons? Not a chance and I made it home in

record time.

But school absences for the Firth family go back a further

generation. Mum Margaret and dad Arthur both grew up in

Sheffield and when Herr Hitler threatened the city in World War

II, schools were immediately disrupted.

Mum struggles to remember her first day at school, for it

wasn’t at school at all. The threat of bombing saw small groups

of children taken into people’s homes to begin their education.

She was due to start on September 5th, 1939 - the week the

war began. So instead of learning in a classroom at her local

infants school, her first lessons were taught in a nearneighbour’s

front room.

She remembers the ‘Home Front’ school service days with

fondness, recalling children were given slate boards and chalk

to write with.

Dad, who was slightly older, was taken out of both his school

and family home when war was declared and he and his

gasmask were despatched by bus to Balderton, near Newarkon-Trent,

as an evacuee.

He attended some lessons in a schoolroom there, but chiefly

remembers the thrill of living in the countryside and being able

to go fishing whenever he liked.

So school closures are nothing new - ask my family!

Selling your home

at an uncertain time

If you are buying or selling a home right now, you’re probably feeling concerned and anxious

about what’s going to happen with the housing market over the coming months. Here’s

everything you need to know, courtesy of Paul Flitter, Founder and Director of New Oak Estates.

We are living in unreal times. You may be feeling uncertain about what you should be doing

and wondering what you can do to mitigate any risk to your financial security. Here, Paul explores

what this uncertainty means for you and your family, and explains exactly what you can do

to best position yourselves when the housing market returns to normal.

“What should I do if I am selling?”

Viewings on hold Now that property viewings have been suspended,

you may be worried about what this means for your moving plans.

When people are uncertain of their immediate future, they are reluctant

to make decisions and do anything to change their current status quo.

Don’t worry – the buyers who are really keen will contact your agent

and leave their details, so when this situation ends, you may have

viewings straight away. Just check with your estate agent that interested

parties’ contact details are being recorded.

Online interest With everyone at home right now, you may get a spike

of browsers looking at your property online. Most browsers turn into

buyers eventually, and this should mean the property market gets a

bounce in a few months time, so you need to be ready. Now that the

Government has slashed the borrowing rate to the lowest in its 325year

history, some people may feel there’s never been a better time to buy

a house.

Cheeky offers We’ve certainly had some very low offers on some of

our homes from buyers wanting to cash in on this uncertainty. If you

really need to move now, and just can’t wait, you may be tempted to

take a low offer, but if you can wait, you’ll undoubtedly get a better

price for your home down the line.

Withdrawing from the market In my opinion, there is currently no real

benefit to taking your home off the market right now, so stick with it.

But review the situation frequently with your estate agent. We’re

currently talking to our clients often to make sure they feel supported in

whatever decision they make, and also to ensure they are ready for a

potential influx of viewers when the situation returns to normal, and we

can start conducting viewings again.

“What should I do if I am buying?”

Lower competition Now there are fewer homes on the market, and

fewer buyers around to buy them – could this be the perfect time to buy

your dream home?

Potentially lower house prices Those peiople who can afford to wait to

sell their homes will do so, relaunching once things are back to normal.

However, there are some homeowners who have no choice but to sell

and move house in the next couple of months, and these properties

could well be discounted to attract a buyer quickly. You could find

yourself buying at a reduced price if you are able to move fast, despite

the current situation. This could especially be of interest to investors

right now, and also cash buyers.

Record low interest rates Great news for buyers using a mortgage to

buy a home. Now could be your best chance to secure a great deal on a

mortgage, potentially saving yourself tens of thousands of pounds over

its duration.

“What will happen to the property

market over the coming months?”

We have 25 million homes in the UK, and each year on average, 1.2

million of them sell. In other words, just under 5% of homes in the UK sell

every 12 months.

This means that when this crazy time is over, and things are getting

back to normal, there will potentially be hundreds of homes that come

onto the market, that would otherwise have launched during this ‘pause’

period.

This will help you to move on. More homes on the market, means more

choice for you and your family and more potential buyers for your home.

If I look into my crystal ball, by June we will have some sense of

normality, with the economy running at 3040%. By July and into August,

I expect the country to bounce back and begin to spend. As certainty

improves, so does market momentum. I think there will be a big

resurgence of demand, and buyers wanting to move by Christmas, at the

latest.

“What if I have already agreed to buy a house?”

If you are in the middle of buying a house, congratulations! We

recommend you proceed as planned if you are able to do so, but maybe

check to see if you can get better mortgage terms than perhaps you were

previously offered. Remember that house prices rise and fall periodically,

which means that if you’re planning to stay in the property for more than

say, a year, any risk is limited.

Can I help you?

Perhaps you have a burning question about your moving plans, or you

need more clarity on any of the above points – whatever it is, I’m here to

help at any time.

Email me personally on paul.flitter@newoakestates.co.uk or call me on

07713 056081 if you’d like a confidential chat. I’ll give you clear,

actionable advice on what to do in your specific situation, whether

waiting or taking action is the best option for you.

Please ask, I’d really like to help you, if I can.

From my family to yours, stay safe and well!

adds his

weight to the

scheme

You could be a life-saver

Looking to do something

positive during your enforced

stay at home? Why not

learn how to administer

emergency first aid?

A

S most remain at home amid

the coronavirus pandemic,

people are being urged to do

something positive with their time

and learn vital first aid skills online.

In conjunction with Virtual College,

Chesterfield-based community

organisation CSALS promotes a free

online first aid course which takes less

than an hour on average to complete.

Debra Johnson, community facilitator

for CSALS, explains why it is important

for everyone to learn basic first aid

skills. She says: “The statistics are

quite startling because every five

minutes, someone will have a heart

attack and an estimated 140,000

people die annually where the use of

first aid could have saved their lives.

“Around 59% of people wouldn't feel

comfortable attempting to save a life,

with 24% saying they would wait for an

ambulance or others to help. With

ambulance response times averaging

7-12 minutes, it really can be a matter

of life or death whether someone knows how to administer first

aid.”

Boxing legend Frank Bruno MBE and former Sheffield United and

England star Tony Currie have both recently pledged their support

for CSALS’ efforts to train more life-savers.

To do the course, which features just five short sections, visit:

Canal project floats along

Two houses are to be

demolished to make

way for the next stage

of the restoration of

Chesterfield Canal

P

LANS to preserve and

reinstate the historic canal

routes from Staveley to Kiveton

Park have been given a boost

with the Chesterfield Canal

Trust charity buying two

unoccupied houses.

Further to the transactions, led by

law firm Banner Jones, the pair of

semi-detached properties can now

be demolished to make way for the

canal route when it is re-opened in

the future, which will run through

Killamarsh, leading into Rother

Valley Country Park.

The proposed new route will leave

the Nethermoor Lake in Rother

Valley, from the eastern side via a

short length of new cut under

Barber’s Lane Bridge and a new

minor road bridge, before reaching

the bottom of the Moorhouse Flight,

which raises the canal back to its

original course.

Trust members are now exploring

the possibility of replacing the locks

at this section of the canal with an

iconic boat lift which could become

a huge tourist attraction for the

area.

Marking a significant milestone in

the organisation’s wider plan to

connect the last nine miles of the

canal network, on completion there

will be three pairs of double locks to

take the canal down to Quarry Lane

and under Sheffield Road.

Peter Hardy, Chairman at

Chesterfield Canal Trust,

commented: “The aim of the trust is

to promote the full restoration of the

Chesterfield Canal so that people all

across Derbyshire and South

Yorkshire can enjoy its beauty, and

in doing so encourage a better sense

of community that will positively

affect people’s health and wellbeing.

Ian Osborn, Commercial Solicitor

at Banner Jones said: “It’s a

pleasure to work on projects like

this one, as the nature of the end

objective is unique and presents

enjoyable legal challenges.

“We wish Chesterfield Canal Trust

the best of luck as the project

progresses, and we’re very much

looking forward to assisting with the

ongoing legal requirements of the

charity.”

Things children

ask their MP

An MP’s lot is certainly a varied one. Toby Perkins outlines

some of the duties he undertakes representing Chesterfield

H

12

AVE you ever met the Queen? And other questions.

As a Member of Parliament, one of my favourite parts of the

job is visiting schools and being quizzed by the children. I often get

invited by pupils and teachers to visit their school as part of a

project they may be doing. Environmental issues are a key topic at

the moment and so children are keen to learn more about what

actions have been taken.

School visits often involve giving an overview of my job and a

Q&A, with an eclectic list of questions from “How much do you get

paid? to “Have you ever met the Queen?”

Children’s views of what an MP does can vary hugely, but I know

that many other people are also unclear and interested in what

becoming and being an MP

entails.

The journey to becoming an

MP is unique, and has a job

interview like no other. Long

before an MP sits on the green

benches, he or she has the task

of becoming a candidate. In my

party, we are selected as

candidates by local party

members. This entails visiting

as many of them as possible

(there are 800 in Chesterfield

Labour Party) and then

‘winning’ the selection at a

hustings of all those members.

Following nomination from

local party members comes the

‘interview’. I was a candidate for

two years and nine months from

2007 to 2010 before finally

getting elected. This arduous

process, particularly out on the streets, is tremendously enjoyable

usually, but also time-consuming and unpaid work.

For that reason, I always have respect for my opponents, each of

whom has given their time without reward to give people in

Chesterfield a choice.

Once elected, there are two main elements to the role of an MP.

The part most people recognise is based in the House of

Commons, where we debate, scrutinise and vote on issues.

However, the work in the chamber is just a fraction of my work in

London.

Most MPs will either be on the ‘front bench’ with expertise and

responsibilities for a particular area (I’ve done Education, Business

and Defence) or will be elected onto a Commons Select

Committee to examine the policies and performance of one of the

government departments.

I currently sit on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA)

Select Committee, and will be scrutinising ‘availability of Labour in

Food processing and agriculture after Brexit’ and ‘the

Government’s response to flooding’.

There are also bill committees who perform line by line legislative

scrutiny to improve and amend new bills.

Parliament also has many All-Party Parliamentary Groups

(APPG), which are cross-party groups that seek to promote and

scrutinise different subjects. These focus on industries, causes,

countries and interests. I am currently chair of the APPG for Pubs

and Tennis,

whilst I

attend

meetings

for other

APPGs

such as the

Armed Forces, Kurdistan region in Iraq, East Midlands, Adoption,

Brain tumours, Apprenticeships, Hormone Pregnancy tests and

Film. These groups can be influential in promoting a cause or

testing the Government’s work in this area.

As well as the work we do in Westminster, MPs also have a huge

role locally, supporting local

people and community groups,

raising and publicising local

issues. This is an aspect of the

job that has evolved and grown

over time.

Having lived in Chesterfield all

my adult life, what happens

here is personal, and so I will

always ensure I can be the

voice of our schools, hospital

and doctors surgeries, as well

as the voice of parent, patients

and pupils.

I advise and represent

constituents on a range of

issues; such as NHS

complaints, benefits and

pensions, queries with

schooling, policing, planning

and housing.

I hold a surgery in my office

on Saltergate each week, where constituents raise these issues.

All appointments do need to be booked in advance, which can be

arranged by contacting my office, by email at

toby.perkins.mp@parliament.uk or by calling 01246 386286.

Some say a week in politics is a long time, which is definitely true, as

events change so rapidly and new issues raise their heads such as

the Coronavirus right now. But whatever is happening, an MP will be

asked to take action, and I will always respond to that call.

No more

predictions,

by George!

The current halt to the

football season has

prompted our teenage

correspondent, George Harris, to reflect

on Chesterfield FC’s past 12 months...

but he won’t be making any predictions!

My Kind of Town

If you’re looking for something to

read in the days ahead, a

publication to whisk you back to

the ‘good old days’, why not order

a few copies of our award-winning

Sheffield nostalgia magazine,

‘My Kind of Town’?

You could treat yourself, or we

will post to a loved one anywhere

in the UK. Issue 36 is our latest,

available of most other editions.

T

HE last time I wrote about Chesterfield FC in one of my

columns it was roughly a year ago; the 2018/19 season had

just ended and I was feeling positive.

We had prevailed against the threat of relegation rather

convincingly and I was hoping for a strong season fighting for

promotion to follow. What we got was anything but that.

It was hard to imagine at the time that anything could be worse than

Martin Allen’s failure last season, but this time around John Sheridan

“knocked it out of the park” if you will. After his heroics last year,

turning Chesterfield’s fortunes around 180deg and dragging them out

of the relegation zone, Sheridan turned the club 180deg back again

and once more fans watched on in horror as the club leaked goals

like a sieve.

Terrible recruitment, ineffective tactics and a stubborn, naive

management led to no wins in Chesterfield’s first ten matches.

Pitch-side squabbles between fans and players occurred at the end of

a game in September and Anthony Gerrard, who was Town’s captain at

the time, went on a Twitter tirade in the same month, not only insulting

Chesterfield fans but also club legend Jack Lester.

This terrible display both on and off the pitch had Chesterfield trapped

in the relegation zone and once again relegation to the Conference

North seemed imminent. Sheridan insisted that he would be going

nowhere, and with his three-and-a-half year contract, many fans

believed the club couldn’t even afford to sack him.

However, with the potential take over by Chesterfield FC Community

Trust - a charity independent from the club that provides a wide range

of sporting, educational and community based activities across NE

Derbyshire - Sheridan was relieved of his duties and John Pemberton

was put in place as his temporary successor.

Although he was only Chesterfield’s academy coach, and had no prior

major managing experience save from a couple of caretaker spells

including an impressive spell with the Blues last season, Pemberton

had an instant effect. He won two tough games on the bounce and did

such a good job as caretaker that he was appointed as the full-time

manager until the end of the season.

Pemberton quickly revitalised Chesterfield into a much sharper squad.

He introduced GPS trackers into training to track how hard players

work, he also hired a sports scientist from America who had been

working in the MLS and has focussed on the psychology of players,

trying to build their destroyed confidence back up using his experience

with top sports psychologists and his own psychology qualifications.

Results improved and Chesterfield rose out of the relegation zone on

7th March, with nine games to go.

At the time of writing this - and with the coronovirus shutdown looming

- Chesterfield are still not safe but confidence and hope is bubbling

within the fan base. I will not make any predictions about Chesterfield -

I’ve learnt my lesson from last season - but I will still hope that

Chesterfield can not only survive in the future but thrive.

Maybe Pemberton is the right man for this admittedly very tough job.

He’s shown his credibility so far and I really hope that he can bring us

success. Maybe this can be a turning point, maybe not. With

Chesterfield FC it’s always impossible to tell.

Locals fear ‘Chesterworth’

building development

The area of

Green Belt

which is up

for sale

Already seeing thousands of new homes

being built locally, Wingerworth residents

are concerned that their village could

become a linked suburb of Chesterfield

T

HE possible sale of an area of “buffer” land between

Wingerworth and Chesterfield has sparked concern

amongst local residents.

A price of £900,000 is being asked for 111 acres of – in the words

of the agent – “pasture land that offers strategic development

potential” bordering Derby Road.

Residents have gone on Facebook to express their fears that the

land could, one day, be granted permission for residential

development that would turn Wingerworth into a suburb of

Chesterfield, or ‘Chesterworth’ as one described it.

One resident said: “I’ve lived in the village for over 25 years and

I’m not opposed to any development in the village as long as it

won’t have a detrimental effect on the village or surrounding areas.

“However, I do think enough is enough now. The pressures that

will be on school class sizes and the medical centre and traffic

issues on surrounding roads are a few of my concerns. So I hope

there will be no more building plans in the future.”

Another commented: “I still think the idea of setting up some

kind of Trust , fund or charity between members of the village who

want to be involved is worth looking at. The idea being that land in

the village can be bought by the group when plots of land come

up for sale (with no-one individual owning it) and remain

undeveloped as pastures / nature spot , preserving the village for

future generations and giving it protection from further over

development.”

The land is designated as Green Belt, which is an invisible

line designating a border around a certain area, preventing

development of the area and allowing wildlife to return and be

established.

The agent said: “The land has historically been farmed, classified

as Grade 3, and is potentially suitable in places for some

combinable crops, subject to the necessary consents being in

place. The field parcels are relatively large and suitable for large

agricultural machinery.”

Coun Diana Ruff, chair of Wingerworth Parish Council, said: “In

response to concerns raised by residents in Wingerworth regarding

the sale of land off Longedge Lane, first off, let me say that

although this land is advertised as 'agricultural land with potential

for development', this 111-acre site, which runs from the A61

through to Longedge Lane, is all identified as Green Belt.

“Wingerworth has an active Neighbourhood Plan. allied to the

unpaused and emerging Local Plan, both strongly supporting the

protection of Green Belt sites, and the delineation between towns

and villages. This will 'saddle' any potential developer with major

problems.

“This site also has some very serious issues regarding suitability

for development, as we have, at the Parish Rooms, a historical map

of the district, clearly advising that there are 'unidentified / unmapped

abandoned mine workings' beneath the area in question.

“Wingerworth has not only met, but has already far surpassed its

housing needs, and with this in mind l will vehemently fight any

future plan for development at this location."

What litter-pickers

found next to roads

F

OURTEEN sacks of rubbish were collected by

volunteers tidying beside a handful of roads in

Wingerworth.

Village footpaths co-ordinator Mike Sims said: “I was amazed at

the amount, and someone is consuming an awful lot of drink.”

There were 197 cans, nearly all beer, 179 glass bottles, mainly

wine, some spirits, most found in one area of Hillhouses Lane, 85

plastic bottles, 148 items of fast food packaging, hundreds of

crisps, snack & sweet packets, four sackfuls of miscellaneous

litter and five large items.

Roads targeted were Langer Lane (Chartwell Avenue to the bus

turning circle), Swathwick Lane, Hillhouses Lane and Birkin Lane

to the junction with Malthouse Lane.

Also removed were nine full poo bags and 18 nitrous oxide

(capsules on the closed-off lane off Birkin Lane near the Lavender.

High Sheriff in the

saddle for good cause

HE High Sheriff of

T Derbyshire, Lord Burlington,

was due to take on an epic 208-

mile cycle ride around

Derbyshire’s county boundary, to

raise awareness of, and much

needed funds for, community

fund Foundation Derbyshire.

The foundation supports the most

vulnerable in society and helps

enrich lives by funding a wide range

of groups, including those involved

in supporting carers, survivors of

domestic abuse, children, young

people and elderly residents.

The High Sheriff was being joined

by a team of experienced cyclists

with strong Derbyshire connections,

including Alison Fovargue, Assistant Chief Constable Paul Gibson, Dr

Andy Hooton, Michael Kirkland and world record breaking endurance

cyclist and mental health campaigner, Leigh Timmis.

“Like the High Sheriff role, Foundation Derbyshire serves the entire

county and this cycling challenge reflects that”, explained Lord

Burlington.

“Foundation Derbyshire is the county’s community fund and

supports our vital voluntary and community sector in towns and

villages throughout the county. In my time as High Sheriff I have

witnessed first-hand the positive impact that Foundation

Derbyshire’s grant funding is making to the quality of life of people

all across Derbyshire. “

his newsletter is being written at a time of national emergency as a result of the Coronavirus

pandemic. All members of the community are being asked by the Government to stay at home

as far as possible and limit their movements to essential travel in order to reduce the risk of catching

or unintentionally spreading the virus.

The weather, on the other hand, has been exceptionally fine and sunny for the last few days and there is a

real feeling of spring in the air which makes it all the more difficult to stay indoors.

Now is very much the time for everyone in the community, businesses, community organisations and

individuals, to work together with determination to get through the common difficulties we all face as our

everyday lives are turned upside down. This will mean co-operating with the Government instructions and

guidance as it is issued and thinking very carefully about any movements we make outside our own homes,

and being especially mindful of any contact we have with other people. If you do have to go outside please

remember the two-metre social distance rule applies.

Those with access to the internet and social media can check for updates on what is happening and find out

which businesses are still able to supply essential goods and services. Alternatively, the radio and television

broadcasters are providing regular updates. We know it is vital to re-think how we live our lives in order to

protect ourselves and others especially the key workers such as those who are working so hard delivering our

health and social care services.

People in local communities now need to be resourceful in how they rearrange their daily lives and routines

and at the same respect the needs of others, especially those who are more vulnerable such as older people,

those who live alone or those having an underlying health condition.

Keeping regularly in touch with others by telephone, email, social network and any other method not

involving being closer than the two-metre distance will help to keep people informed and allow them to let

others know of any needs they have.

Our member adverts are much reduced this time as a number of businesses have had to temporarily close as

part of the shutdown. Those adverts still shown relate to businesses which are either part of the key worker

group, e.g. the vets and the plumbers, or alternatively have an internet presence allowing their business to

have some functionality.

Also included in our Newsletter is some very helpful guidance concerning common issues with heating

systems as provided by group member N Jenkins & Sons Ltd that you may find useful especially if we have a

cold snap, which is not unusual in early springtime.

Business support wise, there are updates being published by the Government via their websites on a regular

basis, a useful link re business support and grant funding is www.gov.uk/government/publications/

Boiler problems? Try these simple tips!

We are all in an unprecedented situation right now and the last thing you

want to worry about is a heating or hot water breakdown, especially with the

current strict isolation and social distancing measures.

With that in mind, here are some simple tips homeowners can try should

they exeperience problems with their heating system:

• Check your boiler pressure – this should be between 1

and 1.5 bar and can be topped up easily by the end user.

The needle should be in the green band, your installer

should have shown you how to top the pressure up.

• If the weather is freezing and your boiler is displaying a

fault code and if your condensate pipe runs outside, it may

be frozen. (This is a drainpipe that runs from your boiler to a drain). Run hot

but not boiling water over this pipe starting at the outlet and work your way

up to where the pipe enters the building. Once this

is clear press the reset button on your boiler. If the

pipe is clear your boiler will hopefully relight. To

prevent this freezing again wrap towels or blankets

around the pipe to prevent the pipe re-freezing until

a more permanent solution can be sought.

• If your hot water is working but your heating is not you may

need to replace the batteries in your thermostat below

are some examples of thermostats that

have batteries and some that

don’t be sure to

use good quality

alkaline batteries

as thermostats

don’t like the

cheaper zinc

chloride batteries.

If you are in any doubt always be sure to contact a Gas Safe

registered engineer, you can find one by visiting

www.gassaferegister.co.uk.

You should also have your boiler serviced annually by a gas safe

registered heating engineer to ensure your heating system is

operating safely and efficiently.

Stay safe!

Art talent spotted at school

From being a protégé of Miss Jones at her

village school to becoming one of the area’s

most exciting artists. Mike Thomas profiles

the career to date of Lily Hammond

I

T was thanks to the encouragement of her art

teacher, Miss Jones, that Ashover born and bred

Lily Hammond discovered her creative talent.

In trying new ideas, Lily uncovered a love for textural

paintings and the power of colour. Even while still at

school, studying for GCSEs and A levels, Lily began

working on commissions for friends who had seen

examples of her work on Facebook.

As Lily’s confidence increased, so did the range of her

output, extending to portraits, abstract art and large

architectural pieces.

After leaving school, Lily completed the foundation

degree she needed for entry to university but, buoyed up

by enthusiastic support from customers, friends and

family, it didn’t take Lily long to decide against university

and instead follow her dream.

To begin with, Lily embarked on an apprenticeship at

Brampton Picture Framing in Chesterfield where she

gained knowledge about the business side of marketing

artwork.

Her confidence and output increased until, aged 22, and

despite the misgivings of family and friends, she gave up

her full-time job and become a self-employed artist.

There was no looking back.

Lily says: “I’m so glad I did as I get to do something I love and

am passionate about every day.”

Lily’s first solo exhibition was at Ashover Show in 2016 and she

was staggered at the response .

“I had some fantastic feedback and great sales and even sold my

prize possession – ‘The King’ – which I just wasn’t expecting. I

even took some new and exciting commissions,” she recalled.

Hard on the heels of this, Lily’s work was exhibited at West

Studios in Chesterfield and, soon afterwards, she was the featured

artist at Cromford Studio and Gallery – her first gallery exhibition.

Following this, Lily turned to teaching, initially through private

lessons at her home for students from age six for both small

groups and one-to-one. This has brought immense pleasure for her,

Alice Sutton - now of Tupton - recalls seeing the Jarrow Marchers pass

through Chesterfield’s streets in 1936.

During the dark days of the 1940s, Alice played a part in the ‘war effort’, being

recruited as a spotter or enemy aircraft. She also worked locally at the former Lamp

Caps factory.

Alice had a busy week celebrating her 100th birthday. In addition to receiving

greetings from the Queen, she attended birthday parties at Tupton Senior Citizens

Group and the Evergreen organisation at Hepthorne Lane. She also enjoyed a family

celebration at Clay Cross Snooker Centre.

Many congratulations, Alice!

Lily Hammond next to one of her striking large animal portraits

especially when seeing the joy and sense of achievement in her

pupils. Examples of this work are regularly posted on Lily’s

Facebook page.

Apart from teaching small groups Lily has also been running

monthly life drawing classes in Ashover Parish Hall. Beginners are

welcome and there’s a different theme and model every month.

Her pleasure in teaching can sometimes be hard to balance with

the passion she has for developing her own work. This year, in

parallel with her teaching, Lily is resuming work on commissions

but, even more exciting, is currently working on a new collection of

up to eight animal portraits – all on a big scale and limited to the

use of only seven colours. Her ambition is to have these exhibited in

a gallery and from these produce limited edition prints.

The Old Rectory in Wingerworth, with Jubilee the donkey

A donkey and a milestone

John Winter recounts two of the most

curious chapters in Wingerworth’s history

R

EV F Calder built the Old Rectory, Wingerworth,

in 1877. He was a master at Chesterfield

Grammar School and wished to accommodate

children for private teaching. It cost £1,000 to build

and the living at that time was £324 a year.

The donkey in the foreground is Jubilee, born on Queen

Victoria's Jubilee in 1897. He pulled the Governess cart for

the Rector's wife, Mrs Ormsher, who could not walk. He had

only to be told “to the Hall, Jubilee” or “to Mrs Vickers” and

off he went. He died aged 34 and the village children picked

flowers for his grave.

WINGERWORTH milestone was the focus of two

A conflicting legends, both surrounding a group of

French prisoners quartered at Chesterfield during the

Napoleonic Wars.

Henry the 4th Baronet, a staunch Catholic, invited them to

worship at his oratory at Wingerworth Hall. The prisoners,

however, were only allowed on parole on condition that they

did not pass the first milestone out of Chesterfield. One

account has it that the prisoners therefore took up the

milestone and carried it with them to Wingerworth Hall,

replacing it on the way back, whereas the second version is

that Sir Henry ordered his estate workers to collect it in a

cart and resite it permanently close to the Hall.

The milestone is no longer near Wingerworth Lychgate as

it once was, and the nearest is this milestone, pictured, 80

yards away on the old stretch of Longedge Lane, which

actually indicates a mile-and-a-half distance from town.

This milestone survives to this day at Longedge Lane

CHOOLIN’ niver made wages raise. So said a Derbyshire farmer in

the 1870s, reflecting the common view amongst country folk that

children’s time was better spent working on the farm, with even the

youngest being useful in scaring crows from the crops.

So it was that those responsible for providing an education had an uphill task

from the start, yet Wingerworth village schoolmistress Elizabeth Heathcote

proved herself tough enough to take on the challenge and succeed.

Headmistress at Calow before her marriage, she was obliged to return to

the teaching profession to support herself and her young family when she

was widowed at the age of 32, with one child on the way and another a few

months old.

& Wings

Elizabeth’s grand-daughter, Elizabeth Eisenberg, writing in 1982,

recorded that the scattered farming community viewed the new

headmistresss with suspicion when she took over in 1873 “but

soon came to recognise her as a ’goodly body’ and looked

tolerantly on her little idiosyncrasies’.”

Mary Burton, in her book ‘Wingerworth Through the Ages’,

stated that cleanliness was something that had to be taught in

those days, with “some children sewn into their underwear

between November and March.”

The school, at the top of the hill at the junction of Longedge Lane

and New Road, had about 60 children between the ages of three

and 13. There was much absenteeism. Boys were away for weeks

at harvest time, and whenever a new baby was born, girls stayed

at home for a week to help their mother.

Discipline was strict, being maintained with a cane and the

approval of most parents.

Elizabeth Eisenberg wrote: “The order to ‘Come Out’ followed by

the removal of her top set of teeth which she laid carefully on her

desk, was a sure indication that the culprit was about to receive a

number of strokes delivered with a vigour that would certainly

have dislodged her dentures if left in place.”

Locals reminded themselves that she came from town and was

not used to country ways. That was the reason that ‘Misethcut’,

as she was called, was never seen to pour her tea into her saucer,

as was the usual practice, and why at the Schoolhouse they ate

their meat course first instead of starting with the pudding.

Pupils often had to walk a long way to school in all weathers.

The writer continued: “Latecomers could be seen straggling over

the Lavender or crossing the Sheepwash bridge. On hearing the

school bell, they would begin to run, dragging the little ones by

the hand, to arrive breathless and quite exhausted after their

hurried climb up the hill.

“And how could a teacher reprimand for being late a child who

had carefully carried for three miles a dish of ‘fry’, a customary

present after the killing of a pig, or, tied up in a pudding cloth some

white round mushrooms picked that morning, or a couple of

bantam eggs for ‘Misethcut’s babies’.”

Borty, the elderly woman who had agreed to help Mrs Heathcote

for a month but stayed until her death 15 years later, often

supplied a hot drink or a slice of bread and dripping for a

shivering toddler who had left home breakfastless before it was

light.

“The school was in an excellent position for observing what went

on in the village and, although the pupils kept their heads well

down over their books, they knew exactly who brought his horse to

the nearby Smithy (next door), how many mourners walked behind

a farm wagon bearing a coffin in a funeral procession, the direction

in which the rector’s daughter was driving in her little donkey cart,

and, most exciting of all, the number of red-coated huntsmen

following the hounds as they moved off from the Barley Mow,”

wrote Elizabeth Eisenberg.

Mary Burton recorded that cleanliness was something which

had to be taught. Toothbrushes were regarded as a fad of the

upper classes, and with water having to be collected from well

it was used sparingly, with washing in a tin tub next to the

hearth.

“No doubt Mrs Heathcote preferred the smell of carbolic soap to

that of unwashed feet. She soon became the confidante of the

village mothers, the organist at church, and the Sunday School

teacher,” explained Elizabeth Eisenberg.

“As well as this, she gave music lessons to children at Stubbing

Court and had a weekly session for adults in reading and writing,

these last being paid for with fruit and vegetables from the garden,

fresh eggs or meat when a sheep or pig was killed by one of the

farmers.”

Dear Editor,

ONE of the articles in the latest edition of Wings was about

local education in which you mentioned old school

photographs.

I thought readers might be interested in this one. It was taken

when Deer Park School was officially opened.

Community rallies for mum’s

appeal

Little Jack Dobbs has a condition

which affects just one child in

4,000. Now his mum Becki is

striving to raise awareness of the

disorder and also raise funds for

charity. John Winter reports

J

ACK Dobbs is a little whirlwind.

But that, says his mum Becki, is fine

with her and his very supportive older

sibling, Charlie, because little Jack, aged

three, has to deal with a rare genetic

disorder, Distal Deletion 22q11.2. He is

missing part of chromosome 22.

He’s small for his age, but big in

confidence, which helps when you have a

disorder that affects just one in 4,000

people.

“As a baby, he was always very poorly,

suffering lots of infections, and he was

diagnosed when he was just eight months

old,” explained Becki, who lives off

Deerlands Road, Wingerworth.

“Because it is so rare, we didn't' know what

to expect going forward. He has hyper

mobility, which means he falls over a lot,

and hasn't got the stamina or height of a

normal three year old.

“His speech was delayed, his immune

system is weakened, he is deficient in motor

skills, and his eyesight and hearing are

affected. However, at the moment he is

doing really well. What he lacks in

chromosomes, he makes up for in

personality! He's a little whirlwind!

“At first, I was all over the place, because

the hardest thing being a parent is when you

don't know why your child is so ill, so when

they told me what he had, a part of me

thought 'Oh God', and yet it was a weight off

my shoulders.

“Jack is very lucky in some respects

because a lot of children out there are not so

fortunate, and there may be others who have

not been diagnosed."

Becki has huge praise for the charity

Genetic Disorders UK, which provides

information and advice to parents and health professionals, and

support for families and siblings, and is very appreciative to all the

doctors, nurses and health professionals that have cared for Jack

along the way.

She and her family and friends have been raising money for the

charity as a Thank You, and Becki’s latest effort is to be sponsored

as a runner in the London Marathon in October.

I am not a runner, I have never been a runner, and I didn't know

how to go about it until John Cannon of Tupton became my running

coach,” she said. “Since then, I have found my stride.”

I approached Genetic Disorders UK and they accepted me for the

Marathon, not just to raise money for the charity but to raise public

awareness of genetic disorders. My target is £2,200 and we are up

to about £1,850.

“I do two short runs and a longer one each week, running about

17 miles in all. It is hard work because I have never been a person

who exercises regularly, but now I am enjoying it.”

Several fund-raising events were organised, for example a pie and

pea supper, a choir night and a coffee morning, in local community

centres.

Local businesses such as Nisa and Mss T's have helped with raffle

prizes. Children at Deer Park School, where Charlie, aged eight, is a

pupil, took part in a Jeans for Genes day, raising over £300, and 3rd

Wingerworth Beavers held a sponsored mile walk.

“People have been so supportive, far more than I could have

imagined,” said Becki.

Protect your disabled child for life

Nichola Barnes, a wills and probate specialist at

Dronfield solicitors, Taylor&Emmet, warns that if

you are the parent of a disabled child, it is

important to seek legal advice as early as possible

T

HEN children come along, we hope to raise them to be

independent, so they won’t need to rely on us in adulthood.

Sadly, parents of disabled children face a very different reality.

They have to contemplate the prospect that one day, they will not

be alive to provide essential care and protection. So, who will?

I often help parents of disabled children plan their estates,

putting measures in place to ensure they will be adequately

provided for and protected throughout their lifetime.

It is very important these issues are dealt with early, to avoid

your child inheriting large sums of money they cannot manage and

that may impact on their entitlement to claim state benefits.

We can draft wills that incorporate trusts, to prevent children from

inheriting your assets outright. This will ensure they do not exceed

capital limits for means tested benefits, allowing them to claim the

financial support that should be theirs by right.

Trusts also protect the vulnerable from themselves and

unscrupulous third parties, who might otherwise take advantage.

There are different types of trust that can be included in wills,

depending upon your needs and those of your children. For example,

a life interest trust will give a named beneficiary the right to live in

your property for a set period of time, or even for life, and receive an

income from the fund. When the beneficiary dies, the trust then

determines what happens to the remaining money.

Alternatively, a discretionary trust can be included in your will that

provides for a number of beneficiaries at the same time. The trustees

are given wide ranging powers to decide who to give money to and

when, whilst crucially, the beneficiaries cannot demand payments.

legal advice as early as possible, so recommendations can be made,

very real risk that local people will not fully benefit from the

borough will deliver.

There is a significant amount of potential investment on the

horizon brought about by HS2 moving into the town. Like it or

love it, HS2 has further raised Chesterfield’s profile and I am

confident that more international investors, like Talgo, will

now be looking towards the town.

Chesterfield has come a long way in the last ten years,

as £1 billion of developments start to come out of the

Teddy Adlington-Stringer takes the plaudits following his latest cage-fighting victory

Teddy’s the tops with cage revenge

Like most sports performers, Chesterfield

cage-fighter Teddy Adlington-Stringer is

taking an enforced break right now, but not

before he recorded a highly impressive win

T

EDDY Adlington-Stringer’s cage-fighting career moved

up another level before the Coronavirus regulations

came into force.

Competing at the Imperial Banqueting Suite in Preston, Teddy

was defending his UKFC lightweight title against the interim

champion Mike Thompson.

The pair had previously met in the cage a year ago in Liverpool,

when Thompson claimed a narrow split decision win.

In the rematch, however, Teddy put on a dominant display in

the first round and went on to win after 2 minutes 30 seconds

in the second round.

Teddy, who trains in Chesterfield and lives in Wingerworth, now

has a record of six wins and two losses.

Later this year he hopes to defend his UK belt and is looking to

clinch European and world titles at International Mixed Martial

Arts Federation events in August and November.

Still only 19, Teddy has been training in MMA since the age of 15

with Squad Jujitsu in Chesterfield. He has travelled around the

Midlands to find the best coaches and training partners to improve

his skill set.

Before fights, he dedicates himself throughout an eight-week

fight camp, training twice a day and abiding by a strict diet to make

the 70kg weight limit.

Following his latest success, a thrilled Teddy said: "I’m over the

moon with my performance; it meant so much to avenge a previous

loss of mine in such dominant fashion!

“This just shows that all the hard work in the gym pays off.”
