The village and civil parish of Shireoaks lies in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, a semi‑rural community just outside the market town of Worksop. It sits beside a sizeable ornamental lake that hosts a sailing club and waterside walks, giving the area a mix of village character and easy access to surrounding countryside.
Historically the settlement grew around coal mining - Shireoaks Colliery shaped much of the local economy and housing - but since the pits closed it has become largely residential, with many people commuting to nearby towns and cities. There are still historic buildings such as the country house known as Shireoaks Hall, and a close‑knit local scene with clubs and occasional community events that reflect the village’s industrial past and rural setting.
