South Derbyshire Mining Preservation Group?


Based at the Old Hall in Church Gresley this non-profit making organisation aims to preserve South Derbyshire’s mining heritage.  Mining took place in the local area from the 13th Century up until 1990 with the closure of Donisthorpe Colliery and had a huge impact on the area in many ways.

The group has a large collection of photographs and artefacts which are displayed  regularly at Sharpe’s Pottery, Swadlincote Library and also at local schools.  There is also currently an impressive display at the Conkers Discovery Centre in Moira.


If you are interested to find out more, the group is at the Old Hall in Church Gresley every Tuesday from 10-12.  Alternatively check out the website linked below or call 01283  218651.
