[edit] Suggestions

Could you put something in the article about it's past link with mining and quarrying, also I think it had a railway line at one time. 30 May 2007

I really don't know much about the area - if you've got the info, you could add it yourself perhaps? Feel free! PamD 14:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded the article slightly from my knowledge as a Robin Hood native: could have written a lot more but currently not able to provide citations, eg some locals say the village was actually named for the first pit there, in around 1800. I won't add this unless I can document it, however. Occamsghost 16:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tidying and links. I'm new to Wiki editing and still getting the hang of it.Occamsghost 14:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
