Visit to Pleasley Colliery a former British Coal Mine
Pleasley Colliery is found in the Nottinghamshire countryside. The site offers an insight into a world, where fifty years ago almost every village in this area had a pit.
The majority of people living here were employed in the industry. Today shows a stark contrast of what was yesterday and a reminder to future generations to come.

Buildings
The parish church of St. Michael is built of squared sandstone and is believed to originate from the 12th century, as it includes a 12th-century chancel arch and font. There are also features from the 13th and 14th century, end evidence of significant restoration in the 19th century, when it was re-roofed in Welsh slate. A new south window was fitted in the chancel at this time. The pulpit came from Derby cathedral, and there is a second font, which carries the date 1662. The building is a grade II* listed structure. It is situated close to the River Meden which marks the county boundary and also the boundary of the ancient Sherwood Forest.
Polly wants a cracker. Think I should get off her first. I think she wants some water. To put out the blow torch. It isn't me. (Chorus) We have some seed. Let me clip. Your dirty wings. Let me take ride. Don't hurt yourself. I want some help. To help myself. I've got some rope. You have been told. I promise you. I have been true. Let me take a ride. Don't hurt yourself. I want some help. To help myself. Polly wants a cracker. Maybe she would like more food. She asks me to untie her. A chase would be nice for a few. (Chours)... Polly says her back hurts. And she's just as bored as me. She caugh me off my guard. It amazes me, the will of instinct. (Chorus)...
