Derwent Street
Derwent Street was always the main street of Chopwell. This was where you did your shopping, everyone shopped more locally then. So you had the Co-ops, the chemist, butcher’s, hardware and furniture shops. The chippy was a wooden one before it became Hayley’s. Next to the cinema and the chippy was Millie Caygill’s shop and when we were kids you could get broken biscuits if you had empty jam jars.
