How the demise of the coal mining industry has brought about new leisure activities

June 11, 2012 by

Article by Pete

Unfortunately the demise of the coal mining industry during the 1980’s resulted in massive redundancy for many, who having not really experienced or trained in any other profession found themselves jobless, in financial struggle, and forced to re-train in another profession and start again from scratch. However after 2 decades of decay and ruin of previous coal mining operations many previous colliery sites and the railway lines connecting them have now taken on a new lease of life. With funding from local government these previously purely industrial areas have now been re-vamped into wonderful countryside trails and country parks.

This is most prominent in the area where I now live close to the border of North-East Derbyshire and West Nottinghamshire. Having lived in or close to this area most of my life I remember how about 30 years ago you couldn’t travel more than a few miles in any direction without coming across another working colliery, fortunately for the countryside lover you now cannot travel more than a few miles without happening upon another country park or countryside trail.

My heart goes out to all those men and their families who found themselves in difficult times when the pits were closed. Many of my school friends chose the colliery as a career when leaving school – a ‘job for life’ they were promised – only to find themselves unemployed only a few years later. Fortunately for me I had no desire to work down the pit and chose a different career path – I went into agriculture initially and then progressed into horticulture – so when many of my old friends found themselves without a job I was still working, albeit less pay but at least I was still in work, so for this reason I am pleased that I chose the path I did, but I sympathise deeply with those who ended up having to start again.

The coal-mining industry no doubt left behind its legacy with many houses being built around the colliery to provide homes for miners and their families, and even today many local towns and villages still show signs of the previous booming industry that was responsible for their birth in the first place. Rows and rows of terraced houses still stand although many have since been demolished and sometimes modern residences, other industrial units, or retail and leisure parks have sprung up on land previously occupied by the homes of colliery staff and their families. Miners welfare and working men• s clubs often still stand in legacy to their members previous professional status.

Gone are the days of a smoke filled sky from fires burning the local coal to keep families warm as most of the houses that were once called ‘home’ by mining families if still standing have been modernised to use alternative fuels such as gas or electricity, in almost all cases extensions have been added to the rear of these properties, attached outbuildings or a bedroom converted to create a modern indoor bathroom – no more going outside to an outbuilding to go to the toilet and no more tin baths in front of the fire. We get it much easier these days, lucky us! I myself now live with my family in one of these ex-pit houses with not one but three locations where once stood a pit-top with all the trimmings all within just one mile from my front door; three separate collieries less than a mile away, wow! Such is the legacy of coal mining.

Please forgive my ramblings; I am drifting away from my chosen aim and getting nostalgic so let me try and get back on track.My aim is to open the eyes of people to what great choice of countryside destinations are now on their own doorstep, thanks to a previous but now defunct local industry.

Within a mile of home for example we have two country parks and one industrial estate located on once pit-tops. The two country parks are connected by countryside trails that eventually lead off and link to other country parks several miles away, all of which used to be a colliery, and all linked by an amazing network of countryside trails – prior rail lines which once saw the passage of regular freight trains rather than the modern day passage of horse riders, cyclists, and of course walkers.

For example if we desire we can now ride our horse, cycle or walk from Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire to Grassmoor, near Chesterfield in Derbyshire and back again without having to pass down a road, just occasionally cross one. The local country park and trail network allows us to leisurely stroll or ride between Mansfield Woodhouse (Notts), Pleasley (Notts and Derbys), Shirebrook (Derbys), Teversal (Notts), Rowthorne (Derbys), Skegby and Stanton Hill (Notts), Sutton-in-Ashfield (Notts), Huthwaite (Notts), Tibshelf (Derbys), Newton and Blackwell (Derbys), Morton (Derbys), Pilsley (Derbys)*, Holmewood and Williamthorpe (Derbys), North Wingfield (Derbys), Grassmoor (Derbys), South Normanton (Derbys), and New Houghton (Derbys) without passing along a road for more than a few metres. I’m sure there’s more but can’t think of them all at the moment.

Amazing isn’t it!

Miles upon miles of pleasant undisturbed paths to explore at your leisure.Note: *Pilsley refers to Pilsley in the Bolsover district and not Pilsley in the Derbyshire Dales.

If you think you can’t top that then check this out!

Of those 20 places mentioned above 10 of them also have country parks where once stood the local pit. Grassmoor, Tibshelf, Williamthorpe, Teversal, Shirebrook, Pleasley, and Morton have their own country parks whereas Stanton Hill, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Huthwaite are connected by one large country park known as ‘Brierly Forest Park’.

This is just the start of it; venture just a short distance from the most local area and there’s many more to check out!

I’m sure you can see my point now.

If you live in the area what I’m saying is ‘open your eyes and get out there’ leave the car at home and do some exploring from your own doorstep, there’s lots to discover! If you don’t live there then give it a visit anyway, it’s quite astounding!

June 11, 2012 by

Article by Maxi Media Matters

Spas and spa treatments are playing a significant role in our lives, and is big business. Treatments and a variety of services for the purpose of improving health, beauty and relaxation through personal care treatments such as massages and facials, helping to combat stress and addressing a general desire for well-being.

The impact that spas have had on the general economy is huge, and a Global report showed that the industry is worth more than 0 billion globally and the UK market alone is worth over .7 billion and still growing.

The general perception of a health spa is relaxation, luxury, women pampering themselves, but not so, of course the images of health spas do have an element of truth, these days there are spas that are suitable for all budgets, and many do cater for men just as much as women.

There are spas in London, Paris, New York, and Rome and all over the world, but are different forms a beauty salon simply because it contains facilities like sauna, pool, steam room and whirlpool that guests can use and enjoy in addition to their various treatments.

There are different types of spa, for example a destination spa is a short term residential facility with the primary purpose of providing individual services for spa-goers to develop healthy habits, and in years gone by many such spas were developed at the location of natural hot springs or sources of mineral waters.

Resort spas as would indicate by the word ‘resort’ are generally located in resorts and offer similar services via rooms with services, meals, body treatments and fitness with varying levels of expertise. A resort-spa may also function as a day spa, as most will allow access to patrons who are not guests of the hotel.

London of course sees many visitors per year for business or pleasure and peppered across the city you will find many spas. London spas have entered the mainstream over the past few years, and offer a much greater range of choices, which can only be good for the consumer, furthermore with so much competition this will inevitably raise standards and lower prices and it is most definitely on the cards that the consumer is far more likely to find somewhere that offers the services they want at a price they can afford.

Hotel spas are certainly not new, in fact hotel spas have been common in Europe for centuries, and they were originally built around the healing waters of places like Bath or Royal Tunbridge Wells in the UK, or Baden-Baden and Marienbad in Germany and of course the hotels would feature the healing spas as an attraction for guests, much the same as spas London.

Spa breaks London can make for a wonderful escape, and city centres are a popular location for hotel spas from Paris to Madrid, New York to Sydney, these spas offer all the benefits of a spa with the chance to escape to a great tourist location.

A spokesman for Dolphin Square Spa located in Westminster said “our spa London offers treatments tailored to the individual guest, and include beauty treatments, therapeutic treatments, massages, and we unleash the purifying and detoxifying secrets of regular authentic Moroccan Hammam and Rhassoul rituals, rituals are completed with a refreshing glass of Moroccan tea”.

Dubai Travel

June 10, 2012 by

Article by Nepolian Milton

A city of intriguing contradictions, Dubai is one Emirate where the glitz and glamor never ends. Housing some of the biggest and largest constructions in the world, the city of Dubai is truly one that never sleeps. Tourists flock to this tiny emirate to get high on the innumerable parties, clubs, adventure sports and also, retail therapy with the ultimate shopping experience. Dubai travel is for anyone who has a taste for adventure and living the good life. The impeccable hospitality of its people, who just never say “no”, will leave you wanting to live there for the rest of your life!

Underneath the surface of this ostensibly materialistic city, however, is a community that never strays from its cherished traditions and customs. From smoking sheesha at leisure to taking a stroll down the Karama and being mesmerized by the dhow (traditional wooden boat) – this represents the real Emiratis of Dubai. Whatever the scene, Dubai travel will definitely leave an impression that will not fail to simulate you.

Dubai Travel Tips

Dubai travel is best made by air. From the national carrier “Emirate” to international luxury flights like Gulf Air, Qatar Airways and Turkish airlines, you can pick from some of the most favored carriers to get to this desert city. Traveling by air is a shortcut to witness this city known for its 70 odd shopping malls, water theme parks, beaches and amazing skyline.

Safety for women is treasured in this city. However, women who travel alone are bound to grab uncalled-for attention, being somewhat of a novelty. It is best for women to stay in 4 or 5 star hotels during their period of Dubai travel, especially because they can access the hotel’s private beaches. Another tip would be to wear loose clothing while traveling in public places.

Dubai Travel Sightseeing

Some of the must see places in this city are the Burj Al Arab, the most flamboyant hotel ever built, the palm islands and the Buddha bar, each beating the other in its extravagance. The Wild Wadi Waterpark, Desert safari, hot air balloon rides and cruise the Dubai creek in a dhow, make your travel experience fun and enjoyable. Top this off with a visit during the annual Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) for a month long shopping festival that includes every shop in the city. There’s no better way to end your Dubai travel than by witnessing the definitive DSF with the concerts, fireworks display and full on entertainment!
