Woolly mammoth spotted in Creswell
Mammoth
A metal sculpture of a woolly mammoth has been installed near Creswell Railway Station.
Students from Heritage High School in Clowne and The Bolsover School, were given the opportunity to learn fabrication and welding skills in an authentic workshop environment. These sessions have supported the students to develop their employability skills and plan for their post 16 progression.
The students all completed the course with a certificate in fabrication, earned over a total of 24 sessions, which they can take forward to help secure future employment.
The mammoth was designed, and then a prototype produced, before the final, large-scale model was completed by the students all aged between 14 and 16 years.

A resident from Langwith has paid a £100 fixed penalty notice (FPN) for a littering offence.
The offender was witnessed illegally depositing a cigarette butt in Newton, contrary to Section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, by one of our enforcement officers in May 2024.
Littering is a crime and we will take enforcement action against all perpetrators of environmental crime in our district to keep it clean and tidy.
Littering FPNs are currently set at £150 paid within 14-days, or at a lower rate of £100 if paid within 10-days.
