Famous People

Which Chesterfield has produced the most famous stars? Chesterfield, UK or Chesterfield US?

 

The market town of Chesterfield, Derbyshire has provided some famous people over the years and so more not so famous.

Chesterfield is the birth place of International glamour model Jo Guest, who is proud to call Chesterfield her home town. Chesterfield is the birth place of Sir Robert Robinson who was a Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry he was born in 1886 and won the Nobel Prize in 1947 for his work about plant dyestuffs. He died aged 88.

Chesterfield is not just recognised as the birth place of famous people but was also the place that George Stephenson saw the last part his life, George Stephenson was the man who is credited with building the first public railway in the world.

Chesterfield, Missouri’s claim on famous people born in the city hosts a wide range of American sports personalities from Jeremy Maclin who plays wide receiver for Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL with a salary of $3.2 million, and Max Scherzer who plays in the MLB for Detroit Tigers as a starting pitcher.

One thing that both Chesterfields have in common are its claims to musical fame with both Chesterfields the birth place to some globally known Musical talent so much so that you can make a band out of them.

Chesterfield UK can provide the drummer in Phil Taylor from Motorhead and Guitarist Mark Webber from Pulp, with the vocals provided by Chesterfield, Missouri in Akon and Tina Turner.

We think that their debut single’s video should honour a very Rock and Roll Chesterfield Sofa, we think a Chesterfield Belchamp would look ideal in Deluxe Vintage Red, or what about the more stand out Chesterfield in the Kensington this would be equally as great in a Premium Indigo Leather.
