NEWARK AND SHERWOOD PARISH #79: CLIPSTONE
So, taking what we learned last week in Kings Clipstone, and extrapolating it a bit further, welcome to Clipstone - the larger of the two twins with that name. Until 2011, they were both all the same parish, but now this area, strongly linked to mining flies solo, with Kings Clipstone now a separate entity. A small part of Clipstone lies within the Mansfield district, whilst most of it is on the Newark and Sherwood side of the boundary. Clipstone was formerly known as New Clipstone in order to distinguish it from its neighbour.
It was built to house miners who worked at Clipstone Colliery, the massive headstocks of which still stand tall over the village, looming large as you enter the place from the East or the West. This walk will also take in several other important and historic buildings, and a fair few memorials. One of those remembers Clipstone Camp - a WWI army facility which would become Clipstone Colliery, something which we’ll be highlighting during todays walk.
To the South of the village is the impressive Vicar Water Country Park, which was created thanks to the colliery…in a weird sort of way, and all around the place brand new housing is springing up. In short, it’s the Mansfield village which refuses to forget its wartime and mining links but is still managing to bring itself into the 21st century - and quite admirably too!
Let’s go and see those huge headstocks, and see what else Clipstone has to offer!

My home village, we lived on Highfield Road but on the bit you didn't get to. We lived on the jitty between Davis Close (bus turning area) and Highfield Road. The lights from the pithead stocks illuminated my bedroom. The Angling Centre was originally a Co-op store but with counters not aisles like a supermarket. Your Co-op number was essential. Ours was 61037. Samuel Barlow was my first school - infants and junior. I was baptised at the church and briefly attended Sunday School there. You missed the abattoir on Baulker Lane and the Manager's house (now a care home) at the end of the village. The Manager's house was an "unmarried mothers' home" in the 1960s/1970s. That's the first time I've seen the new Co-op! I've not been back since 2017

I know about the care home though. It was very useful for me. I stopped there to capture the village sign.

If i remember correctly, Clipstone colliery was our second means of egress up untill the late 70s . Im struggling to remember the seam i worked on, i think it was 91s coal face. Back then, we would reverse the coaling belt to ride inbye to the face. Which was fun as one would have to hook ones feet ocer the edge of the belt and hang on tight with ones hand as the belt had a tendency to ride up the rings. But once the Deep soft seam opend up we had the Shirebrook egress route. Unfortunately ive reached the age where time has began to play tricks on my memory. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
