Pinxton is a village and civil parish in the Bolsover district of Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the Nottinghamshire border and towns such as Mansfield. The area mixes low-lying farmland with pockets of former industrial land; remnants of canals, hedgerow-lined lanes and terraces reflect its rural‑industrial edge.
Historically the community grew around coal, clay and brick industries and even an early 19th‑century porcelain works, leaving a strong industrial heritage visible in old pit sites, canal basins and workers’ housing. Today it is largely residential with local shops, a community centre and active clubs, while walkers and local historians often explore the canal towpaths and country paths that link the village to the surrounding landscape.
