Shirebrook is a former coal‑mining town and civil parish in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England. It grew up around 19th‑ and 20th‑century pits and retains a strong miners' heritage visible in social clubs, memorials and community institutions; the closure of the colliery in the late 20th century left a lasting imprint on local life and identity.
Geographically it sits close to the Nottinghamshire border and is within easy reach of Mansfield and Chesterfield, with countryside and the Peak District accessible for weekends. Recent decades have brought regeneration through light industry, distribution centres and housing, and the town today combines that industrial legacy with active local clubs, community projects and a small but diverse high street.
