South Normanton is a former coal‑mining village in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, in the East Midlands of England. It sits close to the Nottinghamshire border between Alfreton and Mansfield on a gently rolling former coalfield plateau, and its location makes commuting to Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield straightforward.
The village grew up around its colliery and still carries a visible mining heritage in its memorials, social clubs and community identity. Since the pits closed, the local economy has diversified into light industry, retail and housing, while schools, sports clubs and annual events keep social life active and reflect a resilient, close‑knit community.
