MOUNTSORREL COMMUNTY CRAFT PROJECT

We entered a Christmas tree into the festival and were voted best tree! Our theme was birds. Our winnings were shared at Mug & Mingle. Everyone enjoys a Jaffa cake!

At Mug & Mingle we made friendship bracelets and some people have continued to make Morsbags. Our community quilt has moved to the Baptist Church until September when it will move up to the Mountsorrel and Rothley Community Heritage Centre .

And of course don’t miss the merriest panto in the land, where you’ll find us deep in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood.

Who are we? Founded in 2004, Mesothelioma UK is the only national charity dedicated to helping people with mesothelioma. We are an independent charity funded by donations, corporate partnerships and grants.

We provide support to people with mesothelioma to live better and longer; to help prevent it happening to future generations. We advocate for better treatment and care, which enhances quality of life, we support research, we amplify the patient’s voice.

The Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialists ensure that patients are given the best treatment available. We have benefits advisors, a Freephone Support line, travel grants, a dedicated research centre at Sheffield University plus a comprehensive information service.

The danger from asbestos is NOT a thing of the past!. Asbestos was used extensively between the 1950s to the mid-1980s but it might still be in any building built before 2000. We’re calling time on asbestos by asking the government to create a central register recording the location and condition of asbestos around the country with an end date for the safe removal of asbestos prioritising high risk settings like schools and hospitals.

Mountsorrel Community Team continue to be grateful to Mesothelioma UK for the use of their office space for our monthly meetings

HERITAGE GROUP

Mountsorrel Heritage Group will have the Village Museum open for REVIVAL– upstairs at the library- as well as an outside stall. The Museum features the latest display, “Blast from the Past” which looks at the history of quarrying in Mountsorrel. It also has some of the archaeological artefacts found at Broad Hill in the late 1800s such as the Mountsorrel Bucket… more of that later!

The Group also has an active interest in the ecology of the village with the development of a small wildflower meadow at the foot of the Navins as well as having regular working parties to improve the Peace Garden. If you have an interest in the history or ecology of the village do talk to one of the volunteers as new members are always welcome.

“Blast from the Past” has been quite a major undertaking for us and we are very fortunate to have gained financial support from TARMAC and also through the Ward Councillors’ Grants scheme of Charnwood Borough Council. The exhibition looks at aspects of quarrying over the centuries and features archaeological artefacts found through quarrying in the village. We are particularly grateful to the County Council Museum Service Officers who have supported us in getting artefacts on long loan and especially the short term loan of the Mountsorrel Bucket –it sounds mundane but is in fact an important and rare Romano-British artefact. It has to be a short-term loan due to its very fragile nature. To maximise the opportunities of seeing it we have it here for the REVIVAL weekend.

Work on the Wildflower Meadow started in 2005/6 . It now has a marker stone courtesy of TARMAC and an information board made with input from pupils at Christ Church & St Peters School. The meadow is managed organically through a programme of seasonal scything, seed-set and clearance. We also carry out some work in the Peace Garden ensuring that it looks at its best for Armistice Day and also during the summer when many folk enjoy the site. A peaceful corner of the village.

We always need new members and volunteers to help with the Museum, historic research , the Peace Garden and the Navins Meadow.

LOST CHILDREN

If a child becomes lost please alert a Community Team Volunteer. All lost children should be taken to the BREWARDS Coffee shop where they will be safe until

Tarmac is proud to support the Mountsorrel Revival 2023. With over 150 years of experience and heritage, Tarmac is the UK’s leading supplier of construction materials and solutions. Our quarry in Mountsorrel is nationally significant to construction and infrastructure projects across the UK, due to the high quality of the stone we produce.

Granite quarrying has been at the heart of communities in Charnwood for at least 250 years. We are committed to being part of the local community. We are proud to have supported many community activities over the years, providing donations and support to a variety of projects and good causes.

The Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund enables landfill operators to donate part of their annual tax liability to enrolled environmental bodies for a variety of approved community and environmental projects. Since the Landfill Communities Fund was established, Tarmac has donated almost £21 million to local communities and projects throughout the UK, with over £2 million going to projects in and around Mountsorrel.

The distinctive pink granite we quarry at Mountsorrel is a vital national resource for the construction, infrastructure, and transport sector, thanks to its strength and hardness. Mountsorrel granite is used to make a variety of construction materials including rail ballast, asphalt, and concrete. Our supply of rail ballast equates to around 50% of the total demand from Network Rail, which owns and maintains most of the railway network in the UK.

Stone from the quarry is also a vital ingredient in asphalt, which is used to create hardwearing road surfaces. It has been used in many major projects in the local area including the construction and resurfacing of the A46 trunk road, the widening of the A453 from the M1 into Nottingham, and the extension of the Nottingham Tramway. Further afield, Mountsorrel granite was used in the original construction of the M25, and for surfacing runways at Heathrow and Luton airports.

The unique pink appearance of our granite means it continues to be used for repairs on buildings in local villages, helping to maintain the distinctive architectural style of the region.

We are committed to restoring the land in and around the quarry so it can be enjoyed by the local wildlife and people. We work closely with Leicestershire County Council, Natural England and the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust to review our progress each year. Within the last year, we planted 8,250 trees and 550m of hedgerows, restoring six hectares back to woodland, scrub, and grassland. In total, we have restored 62 hectares of the site so far.

If you want to contact the team or have a community project you would like us to consider supporting, please email: mountsorrelquarryfeedback@tarmac.com

MOUNTSORREL & ROTHLEY

COMMUNITY HERITAGE CENTRE

The Not For Profit Mountsorrel And Rothley Community Heritage Centre grew from the desire of local residents to create a place where visitors could learn about the history of our villages as well as the wildlife around us.

The Heritage Centre occupies a 10 acre site just off Swithland Lane, close to the junction with Halstead Road. Work started to create the site 8 years ago and the Heritage Centre opened in 2016. Since then many additional areas of interest have been added.

Almost all you see has been created by community volunteers and more new areas are being added over the coming months. As well as the heritage rooms in the main building, there is a railway museum and local history museums, a quarry heritage building, two carefully created nature trails totalling over a mile in length, botanical gardens and two royal gardens, a Peace Garden, historic railway shunting sidings, a narrow gauge passenger railway, garden railway, crazy golf course, a den building area and a station for the restored Mountsorrel Railway. The site is open 7 days a week 10am until 4:45pm. With no grants to support its running costs, the Heritage Centre depends entirely on income from its Granite's Coffee shop and a small entrance fee of £2 adults and £1 children.
