The town sign stands opposite the site of the former Hardys & Hansons Kimberley Brewery which ceased brewing in 2006. For many people in the East Midlands Kimberley will forever be associated with its products and a beer cask is one of the symbols on the sign. Below a notice tells us we are now in a 'place of public protection' which is not really reassuring. It refers to restrictions on the drinking of alcohol in public.
