Attenborough


Attenborough sand and gravel pit was established in Nottinghamshire in the 1920s. Since then the pit has expanded up the Trent Valley in Nottinghamshire, and into Derbyshire. The current extraction operated by CEMEX UK Materials (Aggregates) Ltd is undertaken almost 5km from the processing plant and material is moved across the flooded former workings with barges pushed by Bantam tugs.
The flooded pits form an extensive nature reserve which is managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and Broxtowe Borough Council. Here a load of gravel passes the modern visitor centre at Attenborough about half way on its journey to the processing plant.
