Engine Lane, Eastwood
At this point Engine Lane passes out of the Moorgreen Industrial Park and into a residential area of Eastwood, which no doubt explains the warning about children playing. A height barrier behind the photographer prevents lorries using this route. At one time a mineral railway passed across the road here, giving access to Moorgreen Colliery; the modern house with the 'for sale' board appears to have been built across its former route.

Moorgreen Colliery Industrial Site Memorial
A plaque underneath this mural on one of the original buildings of the former colliery reads "The mural artwork was produced by students of the New College Nottingham Basford Hall in co-operation with Maplebeck Holdings Limited, who have dedicated it to the people of Eastwood. The ceremony was performed by Cllr. Jack Wormall on the 24 September 1999". Two quotations below the pictures are both by D H Lawrence. On the left it reads ".... there was a sort of inner darkness like the gloss of coal in which we moved and had our real being" (1930) and on the right ".... the east was tender with a magenta flush under which the land lay still and rich" (1913). Two contrasting views of the same landscape - the goal on the wall is by local artists unknown!

Mural on Engine Lane, Eastwood
This mural faces Engine Lane from the premises of Caunton Engineering, part of the Moorgreen Industrial Park; the building is one of the few that have survived from the old Moorgreen Colliery complex. The mural graphically depicts the change of land use of most of the site, from coal mining to country park, together with quotations from Eastwood's most famous son - D H Lawrence. The trauma of the disappearance of a once great industry on a community such as Eastwood should not be underestimated.

Colliers Wood
Colliers Wood, established on the site of the former Moorgreen Colliery, forms part of Nottinghamshire's Greenwood Community Forest. It was created in a restoration scheme in 1996/7, just over ten years after the colliery had ceased production. According to Broxtowe Borough Council, the site will become characteristic of local woodland with sessile oak, birch and alder as well as several other tree species.
