Description
DERBYSHIRE, Chesterfield, Chesterfield Race Stand, Built 1830, a brass Admission Ticket, unsigned, legend, rev. un-numbered, 24mm, 5.93g (W –; D & W –; cf. DNW 138, 3189). About very fine, extremely rare £200-£300 --- The racecourse at Chesterfield was situated at Whittington Moor, north of the town, and the first competitions were staged there in the early 18th century. Major alterations were made in 1797, to lengthen the course, and in 1870 to accommodate the railway. In 1829 a small grandstand was built on the lines of that erected at Doncaster, for which the Duke of Devonshire put up £50 and another £147 was collected locally, but the builder was still out of pocket by more than £200. To remedy matters a subscription scheme was set up in 1842 to which anyone who gave £5 or more received a silver ticket, giving them free entry to the stand in perpetuity. The final meeting at Chesterfield was held in July 1924
