Kirkby-in-Ashfield is a market town in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England, lying between Nottingham and Mansfield on what was once the Nottinghamshire coalfield. Historically shaped by coal mining and framework knitting, the town still shows Victorian terraces and colliery-era landmarks alongside parks and post‑war housing where pits and rail sidings once stood.
Since the decline of mining the local economy has shifted toward light industry, retail and commuting, with good road and rail links making nearby centres easily reachable. Community life is lively with sports clubs, local events and ongoing regeneration projects that aim to refresh the town centre and public spaces while retaining elements of its industrial heritage.
