Publication No. 1, "The Origin of Heanor and District Street Names", was published in 1977, and with an enlarged reprint in 1992 (it probably needs another reprint soon, with all the new housing!). An invaluable guide to the naming of streets in the area covered by the old Heanor Urban District Council, many of which have a historical background. (Not currently available - revised edition planned.)
 

"Two Centuries of Transport in the Heanor Area," published in 1978 and reprinted with additions in 1984 and 2006, covers the local canals, railways and public transport. (Available from the Society, priced £3 plus postage.)
 

"Around Old Heanor," (1982), gives a photographic record of a number of historical features of our area - chapter titles include, "Street Scenes," "Public Houses," and "Vanished Buildings." (No longer available.)
 

"Life in Old Heanor," first published in 1983, gives a cradle to grave view of what life was like for the local people in Victorian and Edwardian times, with chapters entitled "Childhood," "Marriage and the Home," and "Funerals." (No longer available.)
 

For those with a memory of the area, "Heanor - Then and Now," published in 1987, shows a fascinating comparison of old and new (well, they were new then!) photos taken from the same vantage point, revealing just how much things have changed. (No longer available.)
 

"A History of Mining in the Heanor Area" (1993, reprinted 2006) concentrates on the major industry of the area, from the development of the local coalfield to the final closure of the last pit in 1970 - there are chapters on working conditions, children miners, and an explosion at Shipley Coppice Colliery in 1943. (Available from the Society, priced £6.00 plus postage.)
