Pleasley Pit Museum & Historic Village Walk (Derbyshire/Notts)

Take a walk through history as we explore the beautiful Pleasley Village and the historic Pleasley Pit Mining Museum. Straddling the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border, this area is packed with rich industrial heritage and local landmarks. In this video, we tour the village landmarks like the historic St Michael's Church, the old Market Cross, and iconic local pubs before heading down to the preserved Pleasley Colliery. Inside the museum, we look at the incredible pit headstock, heavy coal cutting machinery, the historic paddy wagon, and the volunteer-run blacksmith exhibition. 📍 Location: Pit Lane, Pleasley, Mansfield (Postcode: NG19 7PH) 💻 Learn more about the trust: https://pleasleypittrust.org.uk TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Pleasley Village 00:42 White Swan Pub 01:23 Coal Bogie 01:46 Cakefield Cakes 01:53 Mill and Pond 02:38 Pleasley Vale Route 03:17 Nag's Head Pub 04:12 St Michael's Church 06:25 Pleasley Market Cross 07:30 Pleasley Miners Welfare 09:02 Pleasley Colliery Mining Museum 10:26 Pit Headstock 10:44 Digging a Shaft Noticeboard 10:54 Coal Cutting Equipment 11:32 Paddy Wagon 11:52 Blacksmith Tool Exhibition BIO Tim Wells born and bred Sheffield.
