Innovation centre opens on former Derbyshire colliery site

A £3 million business innovation centre opened last week on the site of a former Derbyshire colliery. The Westthorpe Business Innovation Centre is on the site of the former Westthorpe colliery in Killamarsh. North East Derbyshire District Council hopes the facility will attract creative and hi-tech firms. Funding came from the council and the European Regional Development Fund.
