Terry. Shirebrook is in Derbyshire now. It is very near to Nottinghamshire though. But we all know how things have changed over the years. Sarah.

Hi Joan In 1896 it was apparently in Yorkshire. I can only assume there have been a number of boundary changes over the years. Thanks for replying. Terry
