Kimberley, Nottinghamshire

Kimberley is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, lying 6 miles northwest of Nottingham along the A610. The town grew as a centre for coal mining and hosiery manufacturing. Together with the neighbouring villages of Giltbrook and Greasley, it has a population of around 6,500 people.

One of Kimberley's most notable structures is its unusual war memorial, in the form of a rotunda. Kimberley also has a large comprehensive school whose catchment area extends well into the neighbouring areas of Nuthall, Eastwood, Watnall, and Hempshill Vale.

Since 1974, Kimberley has been part of the Borough of Broxtowe. From 1894 to 1974, however, it was part of Basford Rural District Council
