This carved seal adorned the front gable of the Maternity Home at the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital. The Home was constructed in 1921 to the design of architect W Cecil Jackson in a Queen Anne Revival style and occupied a position at the north-west corner of the Royal Hospital site. The hospital on Holywell Street was vacated in 1989 when facilities were re-located to new premises at Calow, to the east of Chesterfield. While the redundant main building was converted for office use, other structures - including the one-time Maternity Home - were later demolished. Question from Picture the Past: Does anyone know if the carving of the Chesterfield Borough seal was rescued when the building was demolished?
