I wouldn't agree here. Even if your pub patrons wouldn't call it a 
trailhead it is one. The TPT purposely makes  a detour to the South to 
meet Chesterfield station.

Isn't the trail mapped in OSM?) It might not have a big signpost "here 
be trails" but it meets the consensus definition of a trailhead, namely 
giving easy access to a trail. On top it even has an information board, 
parking, rail station, toilets in the station, pub up the road, ... It's 
quite a posh trailhead actually ( :-) to use some other participant's 
words here).

The position of the new board you mapped is not the trailhead, though. 
I'm with you that far.

Absolutely.
