GREEN PUBS have undergone a change of name but are still open.
BLUE PUBS are open.
MADISON'S BAR; Holywell Street, Chesterfield
MALLET & TOOL, The; Knifesmithgate, Chesterfield.
Demolished to make way for the Victoria Picture House redevelopment of the 1920s. On the photo above, the pub is the building with the lamp and sign hanging from it, in the left foreground. The right (south) side of Knifesmithgate in this picture has changed little in outline, although that part of the road behind the photographer is now unrecognisable from its 1920s appearance.
MALT SHOVEL, The; High Street, New Whittington.
Became "The Dusty Miller"
MANHATTAN; 50 Saltergate, Chesterfield.
Formerly "The Corner House" / "Miner's Arms" / "Fountain Inn." Probably the borough’s first proper “Gay Pub.” Now refurbished as a Thai restaurant.
MARKET, The; 95 New Square, Chesterfield.
Formerly The Post Office Vaults, New Square Inn and Market Hotel.
MARKET (HALL) VAULTS, The; Market Hall, Chesterfield.
MARKHAM ARMS, The; Dorset Drive, Brimington.
MARQUIS OF HARTINGTON, The; Soresby Street, Chesterfield.
Lost when Knifesmithgate and Rose Hill were joined up. Once occupied by a professional footballer named Charlie Bunyan, who manufactured shinguards in the pub's back rooms.
MARSDEN'S; 13 Marsden Street, Chesterfield.
Renamed "K20" in April 2002. Formerly the Conservative Club. As Marsden's, the place was patronised by the local gay community. I do hope the irony wasn't lost on the borough's few remaining homophobic Thatcherites.
MASON'S ARMS, The; 3 Chatsworth Road, Brampton.
MASON'S ARMS, The; Newbold Road, Chesterfield.
Present - although not obviously trading as an inn - in the 1891 census. Most likely the same place as The Freemason’s Arms. Probably somewhere between the Trinity Church and the Newbold Road / Sheffield Road junction.
MIDDLE POCKET; Ringwood Avenue, Middlecroft.
MIDLAND HOTEL, The; 1 Station Road, Chesterfield.
Stood on that part of Station Road that pre-dated Corporation Street and formed the original route to the Midland station. The A61 inner relief road was driven through the site in a deep cutting. Not to be confused with the Freeman's Temperance Hotel, which was a larger building more or less next door.
MILL, The; 236 Station Road, Brimington.
Previously "The New Inn" and "Great Central Hotel," on account of the nearby Sheepbridge & Brimington station on the Great Central railway, nearby. Is the borough's last canalside pub. Kept by Peter Swan, the former Wednesday & England footballer.
MILTON'S HEAD; Saltergate, Chesterfield.
MINER'S ARMS, The; Saltergate, Chesterfield.
Previously "The Fountain Inn". Rebuilt as "The Corner House."
MINER'S ARMS, The; 217 Manor Road, Brimington Common.
MINER'S ARMS, The; 1 Bamford Street, New Whittington.
MINER'S ARMS, The; 62 Sanforth Street, Newbold Moor.
MOO BAR, Corporation Street, Chesterfield.
The council shamefully turn a blind eye to proliferation in order to dump licensed premises in one place, and, of course, we aren't talking "Outside the Town Hall." Corporation Street is the walk-in gateway to the town from the station, yet the council happily fill it up with bars and "high-spirited youngsters." Shame on them all. This one opened in August 2010 and used to be a reasonable Italian restaurant. It is owned by the same bloke who already has two bars on corporation Street, apparently. "Come and join the Herd!!" says the classy pvc sign over the entrance. Buffalo Bill had the right idea.
MOONRAKERS, The; Keswick Drive, Dunston.
Built c1957 to service the expanding Dunston Estate.
MOULDER'S ARMS, The; Holywell Street, Chesterfield.
Swallowed up by Eyre's expansion in 1922, this pub originally stood between Stephenson Place and Cavendish Street.
MOULDER'S ARMS, The; Lee's Buildings, Staveley.
On the south side of the Chesterfield Canal, not that far from the Canal Tavern (although the eighteen feet of stagnant canal water full of shopping trollies between them would have made it an interesting pubcrawl.) The place was closed during the 1920s.
