Gifts and Tarot Reading Shop in Pilsley It seemed incongruous from both points of view - fortune telling and gift buying - in the heart of a former pit village. The same shop was spotted by Alan Walker in 2007. See <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/314097" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/314097">Link</a>

Remembering... in Pilsley Two pit wheels remind passers by that like many other villages in north east Derbyshire, Pilsley was built on coal. Erected by the parish council the inscription on the accompanying plaque reads touchingly, "Thank you for the warmth and the light". Opened in 1866, at its peak Pilsley Colliery comprised six shafts, employed 945 men and produced 1,200 tons of coal per shift. The colliery was closed in 1957 but many village men continued to work in the coal industry up to the 1980's.
