Former Derbyshire Miners' Association offices in Chesterfield.
The Derbyshire Miners' Association was a trade union in the United Kingdom.
The union was founded in 1880 to represent coal miners in northern Derbyshire, as a split from the South Yorkshire Miners' Association.[1] Although it initially aimed to recruit members from across the county, it only developed strength in the north Derbyshire coalfield, and the separate South Derbyshire Amalgamated Miners' Association was founded in 1883.[2]
In 1945, the union became the Derbyshire Area of the National Union of Mineworkers.
