The twin headstocks and nearby disused mineral railway track are all that remains of an extensive coal mining enterprise carried on by Barber, Walker & Company, who first leased and then bought much of the parish of Brinsley from the Duke of Newcastle. They are a memento of both Brinsley’s mining heritage, and the literary heritage of DH Lawrence, whose father worked at the colliery. Many of Lawrence’s stories are based on this area and the people who lived and worked here.

The Reserve, created on the site of the former Brinsley Colliery and the old mineral railway line that linked the colliery with Underwood, consists of a variety of habitats, which are linked by well-established paths, most of which can be walked throughout the year.

The headstocks have gone... Removed in Dec 2023 due to health and safety. Apparently they're going to be rebuilt at some point in the future at an estimated cost of £220k. 😅 Typical local council shenanigans... Don't make the structure safe or put a fence around it... Spend quarter of a million quid to build a new replica. 🤡
