Swadlincote is a market town situated in the heart of South Derbyshire, just south of Burton upon Trent and within easy reach of the East Midlands. Known for its rich industrial history, Swadlincote was once a thriving centre for pottery, brickmaking, and coal mining throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Evidence of this heritage can still be seen in the town’s architecture and the preserved industrial sites that now form part of local museums and attractions.
