About Fencing in Swadlincote
Swadlincote in South Derbyshire grew up around coal mining and clay working, once home to numerous potteries and pipe works making use of the rich local clay seams, a heritage now marked by the town's Sharpe's Pottery Museum. The National Forest, a large scale tree planting initiative, now covers much of the surrounding former colliery land, transforming the landscape considerably over the last three decades.
