Thoresby miners share their memories
At one time, Nottinghamshire, with 42 collieries and 40-thousand miners, was one of the most successful coalfields in Europe.
However, in 2015, the closure of Thoresby colliery marked the end of a 750-year history of mining in Nottinghamshire.

Some former miners have shared their memories of working at the colliery.
