The final Cropwell Gypsum Mine (2-3-08)

Gypsum Mine

This photograph was taken in June 1992. The Country Park beside the Kinoulton Road is now in this spot.

That big hole might have been home for a great deal of waste material. In fact, the plan was to fill it with gypsum waste. Only a well supported campaign by people from Cropwell Bishop stopped it from happening. Without their efforts we would not have the Country Park we have now.

Where you involved in that campaign? If so, can you tell us more about it?
