VOLUNTEER INN, The; Holywell Street, Chesterfield.

Previously "The Alma Inn". Premises now occupied by an estate agent's, and seen above in an earlier manifestation as Lloyd Manley Insurance. The Punch Bowl's gaudy exterior creeps in to the right of the photo above, while the place next door on the left was once the "Royal Hygenic Bakery," I believe; somewhere where you could get a late-night cob of indeterminate quality. Handily, the stomach pumps of the Royal Hospital's casualty department were only fifty yards or so further up the road. The alleyway where the guy in the suit stands is one of the many fine toilet facilities provided for the comfort and convenience of late-night revellers, although it must be said that there is nowhere to hang the toilet paper.
