Snibston Colliery, Ashby Road - North West Leicestershire
Buildings, structures, machinery and buried remains of former Snibston Colliery and adjoining railway, built 1832-4 by the engineers George and Robert Stephenson. Leicestershire County Council completed a major scheme of repairs under SMC. Schemes for housing development are underway, and a revised offer to visitors. This includes cafe facilities and bookable paid tours, alongside a free exhibition. Much progress has been made recently by the County Council and local partners, but conservation challenges remain. Historic England has provided advice and has amended designations
