Heanor Heritage
Mentioned in the Domesday Book as 'Hainoure'. The town of
Heanor was once the route of the world's longest tramway running
from Nottingham to Ripley.
Shipley Hall was used by D H Lawerence as the setting for his
famous novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover. The Hall has been
demolished but elaborate iron gates from the house now stand as the
entrance to the town's memorial park. The park was
established in 1950 and is a memorial to those who lost their lives
during WW2. The area where the actual house stood is situated
within the attractive setting of Shipley Country Park, where there
is over 18 miles of bridleways and footpaths.
