About Birdholme
Where to stay in Birdholme
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Birdholme is housing rather than lodging, so a bed here means the streets off Langer Lane, or a room in Chesterfield with the town centre lying north of the suburb. Alma Leisure Park takes the evenings. Wingerworth is south, Boythorpe west and Hasland east, which puts the suburb inside a ring of other Chesterfield names.
Birdholme suits you if a quiet estate side and The Parish Church of Saint Augustine are enough, with the town's own rooms a short ride north.
About Birdholme
What are the main landmarks in Birdholme?
The Parish Church of Saint Augustine is the one listed name here, and it shares its dedication with the St. Augustines council estate that covers much of Birdholme. Langer Lane is the exception. It runs through one of the more affluent parts of the suburb, away from the estate, while Alma Leisure Park occupies ground that the Bryan Donkin factory and Chesterfield Tube works once held.
Hasland sits east.
What is the history of Birdholme?
The Bryan Donkin factory and Chesterfield Tube works once dominated the landscape of Birdholme, and both have closed, their ground taken by new housing and by Alma Leisure Park. Industry gave way to housing. The large St. Augustines council estate makes up much of the suburb's area, with The Parish Church of Saint Augustine carrying the same name into the parish record.
Langer Lane keeps a more affluent stretch apart from the estate.
Where is Birdholme?
