Nestled on the border between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire is the small village of Pinxton. With just under 5,700 people calling it their home in 2011, the quaint spot, just off junction 28 of the M1, has a community feel, with a friendly atmosphere.
But recently the village has become the centre of a decades-long mystery, thrusting it into the national spotlight. On Thursday, June 8, Nottinghamshire Police confirmed human remains found in Coxmoor Road, Sutton in Ashfield, on April 26, were that of Pinxton miner Alfred Swinscoe - who disappeared 56 years ago.
Mr Swinscoe, went missing in early 1967 after drinking at the Pinxton Miners Arms. He vanished in unusual circumstances, leaving his family with a number of questions about his disappearance and death.
