Pinxton, Derbyshire, right on the border with Notts. An ex-mining village which still has a few reminders of its past. This miniature pithead is on the corner of Victoria Road and Town Street, across from the Greyhound pub. It commemorates engineer John King, who lived in Pinxton and invented a device that made mine cages safer. His old workshop, a couple of minutes from here on Victoria Road, is now a museum.
