The western entry to the village on Main Street. The front sign is one of the new style of Nottinghamshire village signs. As well as the medieval church it shows a colliery headstocks, a stocking frame and a tractor, defining the various industries which have supported the village during different eras. The headstocks are strictly not relevant as the colliery had winding towers rather than headstocks.
