A plot of rough ground until recently, this brown-field corner site at the junction of Skegby Road with the B6026 (Sutton Road) is being used to host the new £2.6m, two-storey Huthwaite Medical Centre. When completed in "Spring 2013" it will replace the G.P. practice premises on nearby New Street and it will include an on-site retail pharmacy. A two-three minute walk down Skegby Road, past the parked cars, leads to The Brierley Forest Park visitors' centre on the edge of this large nature reserve. The colliery on which the reserve was developed was known locally as "Brierley Pit" because many of the first miners came from Brierley Hill in Staffordshire in the early 1870s.
