War Memorial, Main Road, Jacksdale, Nottinghamshire
Jacksdale is a former coal mining village situated in the Erewash Valley, on the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire border. The War Memorial is in the centre of the village, near all the shops and services, at the junction of Wagstaff Lane with Main Road. It is unusual, in that it not only commemorates those from the parish who fell in the Great War of 1914-18 on one panel but also lists all those who served in the armed forces during the same conflict, on the other three panels. The fallen from the Second World War of 1939-45 are commemorated on the smaller panels around its base. Pye Hill pit, the last mine in the area, closed in 1985. A colliery winding wheel across the road from the War Memorial, commemorates the village's strong links with coal mining.

Jacksdale War Memorial
The sculpture of a soldier was installed in 2009. It is a replica of the original sculpture which was blown off the pedestal in a storm in 1959 and shattered. The monument is relatively unusual in recording the names of all those who served during World War 1, not just those who lost their lives. It was installed in 1921. Update: The memorial was Listed Grade II in 2016

Jacksdale: the post office
The position of the postbox - in the wall of the shop next door - suggests perhaps that the post office was once larger, occupying both frontages. This would appear to be supported by the large-scale mapping, which appears to mark 'PO' across a larger area than just this right-hand shop.

Jacksdale: postbox № NG16 309, Main Road
This George VI-reign postbox is set into the wall of Image - in fact, in the wall of the shop next door, perhaps suggesting that the post office once occupied both premises.

Church Hill
I think I'm in Jacksdale, but the church which is a couple of hundred yards up the hill is referred to as St Mary's, Westwood. All very confusing.

Jacksdale Community Centre memorial garden
The half pit-sheave is a reminder that this was once a mining community; it came from the nearby Pye Bridge Colliery.

Jacksdale Parish Map
A ceramic mosaic created with the help of local children, on the wall of the Community Centre. Not the easiest map to read, but it is actually cartographically pretty accurate.
