Jacksdale is a small former mining village situated in the local government district of Ashfield, part of the English county of Nottinghamshire. The population of the ward within the Ashfield Council was 3,158 as taken at the 2011 census.[1] Lying close to the Derbyshire border, Jacksdale is the most westerly place within the county. Neighbouring villages include Selston, Brinsley, Pye Hill and Ironville. Jacksdale and Westwood are interlinking villages, although houses in Westwood are usually referred to as being newer, with 86 per cent of the housing in Jacksdale built before 1918.[citation needed]

Heritage


Jacksdale consisted of only three farms in 1811,[2] but it emerged as the shopping and amenity centre for both villages after the arrival of the railway.[3]


Jacksdale's pit was first sunk in 1874 by James Oakes & Co. Its entrance was sited at Selston Road at an 'exposed' section of the Nottinghamshire coalfield. Pye Hill pit as it was known was actually the amalgamation of three individual pits sunk by different mining companies, Jacksdale's pit was renamed "Pye Hill No 2", No 1 being Selston/Underwood and No 3 at New Selston.[4]


Pye Hill pit was closed in 1985. The spoil heaps have since been made safe and landscaped for walking, providing access to nearby Jubilee Hill. The nature reserve there demonstrates colonising vegetation and scrub.[5]



Governance


Selston Parish Council, which covers Jacksdale and Westwood, meets on the last Tuesday of the month.[6] The local member of Parliament is Gloria de Piero (Labour) for the Ashfield constituency.



Amenities


Local amenities include a post office, a supermarket, a chemist, hair salons and barbers, an estate agency and lettings agency, a hardware and motor parts outlet, a repair garage, butchers, a newsagent, a library,[7] the Miners' Welfare, a tearoom, a primary and nursery school,[8] a Pentecostal church, a Chinese restaurant, a community centre, a fish and chip shop, dentists' and doctors' surgeries, care homes, and a garden centre.[9]


Several local community groups for adults, children and special interests are shared with Westwood.[10] The Anglican St. Mary's Church, Westwood, which also covers Jacksdale, is a daughter church of St. Helen's Church, Selston.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy
