Calverton Colliery opened in 1952, and closed in 1993. It's legacy was a spoil tip covering 190ha, with unwanted coal deposits, including coal dust and other unsafe contaminants. In 1999 the Coal Authority and Local Authority developed an environmental restoration proposal, with major remediation works following.

A memorial located in Watchwood Plantation, Calverton, honours the memory of three Polish airmen who perished in a crash there. On October 13, 1940, a Polish air crew from the 300 Mosovian Squadron, who were fighting for the Allies, were returning to their UK base at RAF Swinderby. After a successful bombing mission, their damaged "Fairey Battle" aircraft came down in Calverton, resulting in the instant deaths of the three men. The memorial commemorates pilot Flight Lieutenant Jan Gebicki, rear gunner Sergeant Edward Morawa, and wireless operator Sergeant Tadeusz Egierski.

It's a very special place to visit on the route.

Pop your bike in the circle for a cheeky photo, then have a look around for a branch or two to add to the shrine. Enjoy some luck for the rest of your ride!
