crookedspire Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I am related to the Darwents of Stannington who once ran a few local pubs in the 19th century and into the early 20th century. These were the Blue Boar, Peacock and the old Hare and Hounds that was situated on a hill in the village. In fact my Great Grandfather Victor Darwent was born their he had two sisters Ann, Elise and a brother John. There parents were John and Emma both born at Sheffield. John was a clock maker he was related to the Inman family who I believe lived at Stannington in the 19th Century and from the census returns were quite well off . I'm guessing the Darwents left Stannington in the 1920s to come to Chesterfield . Does anyone remember the old Hare and Hounds pub not the 1960s replacement on Church Street, does anyone know were the Blue Boar pub was situated in Stannington?
