On the site of the former Moorgreen Colliery , this area is now being planted and landscaped with the intention that it will form part of the East Midlands reforestation plan. The name 'Colliers Wood' was chosen after a competition where residents were invited to submit a suitable name and is highly appropriate given the site's former use. I will add further pictures as the wood develops and trees become established. The wood was declared open on May Day 1998 and covers 14 hectares, incorporating paths, ponds, meadows and over 10,000 trees. New smart railings in green and gold livery with a phoenix motif line the roadside.
Bare areas are to be planted to transform the appearence of the town .
The whole sidewalk is to be repaved with attractive coloured designs and individual shop frontages. This is an unofficial page maintained by Nigel Harrison. Either email me or take the time to sign the visitors book. Sign My Visitors Book . .
