Shirebrook is a former colliery town in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England, close to the Nottinghamshire border between Mansfield and Chesterfield. It has regional rail links to Nottingham and Worksop and convenient road access to the M1, so it functions both as a local market town and a commuter base for nearby centres.
The town grew up around Shirebrook Colliery, and its mining heritage is still evident in the terraces, memorials and community identity; since the colliery's closure in the late 20th century there has been steady regeneration with new housing, business parks and community initiatives. Local life is shaped by a compact high street, active clubs and schools, and growing heritage and arts projects that seek to celebrate the industrial past while diversifying the local economy.
