How has the retail service provision changed 1. In the early 20th century Chesterfield at last became industrialized and a heavy engineering industry grew up and prospered which meant that more people migrated to the area for employment. 2. In the late 20th century manufacturing industry declined in Chesterfield as it did in other towns and service industries such as tourism and retail became more important to provide jobs for all of the people that had moved to the area. 3. Smaller local convenience shops were located in the town centre such as butchers, baker, greengrocers etc, providing the needs of the population, along with the famous market. 4. Vicar Lane Shopping Centre opened into host new chain stores to upgrade the town centre and increase its catchment area. 5. Then, in 2009, the old Deema Glass factory site was developed to hold anew retail park on the edge of Chesterfield housing the new ProAct Stadium, Tesco Extra and a number of other large food and drink outlets. This is the second big development on the outskirts of Chesterfield. 6. There is currently a proposed retail development called the Chesterfield Waterside.
