Brierley Name Origins
Brierley is an address formally introduced to this locality after firstly choosing title for a designated Brierley Forest Park area. That large country parkland opened 1999 with pathways stretching eastward from northern Huthwaite connecting similar historic neighbouring mining areas of Teveral, Skegby and Stanton Hill, all tied within town boundaries of Sutton. Much of the farm land reclaimed site of the old coal pit around which Stanton Hill was built. Although officially titled Sutton Colliery, it remained commonly referred to as Brierley pit after 1879 mapping identified Brierleyhill Colliery. Brierley was thought an apt choice to reflect a wider shared past industrial heritage. Next saw renaming of the adjoining Huthwaite Golf Course. Opening a newly built 2013 Huthwaite Medical Centre overlooking a maturing influential forest truly asserted Brierley address before redefining an electoral past Sutton West Ward coverage.
