About the town
Heanor grew as a mining and industrial centre through the 19th century; an 1848 account records that the local collieries alone employed more than 2,000 people, alongside the manufacture of hosiery and lace. Coal mining and textiles have since declined, but the town remains the focus of the wider parish of Heanor and Loscoe. Heanor Town Hall, on Market Place, was built in red brick with stone dressings in the Italianate style and completed in 1867; it is a Grade II listed building and the meeting place of the town council.
