Constituency Profile
The seat is a Labour Party stronghold and a former mining area. It has struggled following the last closures in the early 1990s of the coal pits upon which the area thrived for many years. The tourism industry has emerged in the area in recent years, including Bolsover Castle, owned by English Heritage, and Hardwick Hall, home of Bess of Hardwick.
