Hollingwood

Hollingwood is a small village approximately four miles north east of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England.

The canal house at Hollingwood has been renovated as a visitor centre and a very popular cafe, as well as being the headquarters of the Trust.

[1] The remains of the entrance to the Hollingwood Common Canal, originally a navigable adit, can still be seen close to the village.

At the top of the park is Ringwood Hall, which the Markham family built for the management of Staveley Works.

During the early eighties, when the work started declining, and management numbers fell, it was opened up to lesser-ranked workers to keep money coming in.

It also houses a 'tack' shop which sells horse, dog, cat and bird food and supplies.

The day centre on Station Road, where people with learning disabilities could attend on a daily basis, has now closed (2016) and has been demolished; a new housing estate has been built on the site.

It is neighboured by a Pizza Shop (Hollingwood Express) and a Chinese takeaway (Happiness House).
