Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 22, 1942.
The spade, pickaxe, pellets or black roundels and the lamp are all emblems of coal-mining. The stag's heads, like those in the arms of the Derbyshire County Council, are derived from the arms of the Duke of Devonshire, Lord of the Manor of Hardwick.
