Pleasley
listen (help·info) is a small village in between the nearby towns of Chesterfield and Mansfield, it is 8 km south east of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England and 4 km north west of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The River Meden which forms the county boundary in this area runs through the village.
The bulk of the village is in the Derbyshire district of Bolsover, and constitutes a civil parish of the same name. The part in Nottinghamshire is in the district of Mansfield and is unparished. Pleasley is not mentioned in Domesday when it was part of Glapwell parish[1].
St. Michaels Church is believed to originate from the 12th century but was greatly restored in the 19th century. It is situated close to the River Meden which marks the county boundary and also the boundary of the ancient Sherwood Forest.
It was a mining village until Pleasley Colliery closed in 1983. Hi-tec businesses have since moved into a business park in nearby Pleasley Vale. The mine was partly demolished but during the demolition it was realized that the pit winding engines were the only pair of such engines left. The former mine is now a museum. The spoil heaps have been turned into a large nature reserve, complete with large ponds, cycle and walking tracks. Pleasley, as whole, covers two counties, a coal mine and an old cotton mill.
