Spire is an inner-urban ward at the heart of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England, centred close to the town's commercial and civic core. The area is defined by its proximity to the town centre, the market and the famous crooked church spire of St Mary and All Saints Church, which gives the ward its informal identity and is visible across the surrounding streets and squares.
Locally the ward mixes retail and office uses with longstanding residential neighbourhoods, reflecting Chesterfield’s market-town origins and later industrial links to coal and rail; you’ll find a blend of historic buildings, post‑war terraces and more recent developments. Community life is shaped by the market, local events and civic institutions, making it a compact but lively part of the borough with both economic and cultural significance.
