The Nottinghamshire coalfields would take weeks to fully explore; Zig Zag will try to capture its legacy in about 5 hours. The (brave!) new owner of the heavily dilapidated Grade II listed Clipstone Headstocks will take us on a guided tour of the site - Europe's tallest pit headstocks at over 200 feet, complete with generator plant designed in the sleek international modernist style.
We will also discuss the origin, formation and distribution of coal as a geological phenomenon, as well as visit an early-C20 'model village', built by a colliery company to house the miners.
Finally, a trip to the mineral rich 4th Duke of Portland's vainglorious and architecturally absurd Archway House. We will finish the tour in the old Mansfield Brewery building where a new brewery has sprung up.
Price includes entry to the Clipstone headstocks. All ex or current miners are welcome to join for free
£17 per person
