South Normanton is a former coal‑mining village in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England, sitting on the eastern edge of the old East Midlands coalfield. It lies close to the A38 and M1, making it a convenient commuter base for Nottingham and Derby, and within easy reach of the Peak District to the west and market towns such as Alfreton nearby.
Historically shaped by collieries and Victorian terraces, the area has shifted towards light industry, distribution and commuter housing since the pits closed, while retaining a strong local community with clubs, shops, churches and green spaces. Reclaimed industrial land and footpaths provide countryside access and wildlife interest close to the village, and local events and sports clubs keep a lively social scene for residents.
