Brinsley is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, England, sitting on the fringe of the former coalfield northwest of Nottingham. It retains a strong industrial heritage: the preserved colliery headstocks are a local landmark and a reminder of its 19th–20th century mining past, set against rolling farmland and a network of footpaths that reflect the transition from pit village to semi-rural community.
Community life revolves around the village hall, church and local clubs, with a quieter, close-knit feel and regular local events; many residents now commute to nearby towns, while small businesses and light industry provide local employment. Its proximity to Eastwood and the Nottingham urban area gives it both historical interest and the practical benefits of good transport links and services.
