According to the BGS (Link) between the 19 and 27th November there were 19 earthquakes reported in the UK of which 17 were in the parish of Warsop Nottinghamshire – two even being large enough to have been felt!!!
All were at a depth of 5km and they appear to be on a fault line running as shown below. The last “big” quake is indicated as being at the red pointer marker.
The quakes are too deep to be coal mines collapsing. A series of quakes like this could indicate an active fault which may have ceased – or we may be about to see a bigger quake. So, tie down the crockery if you live near Worksop

In America, earthquakes like this would be used as evidence of the dangers of fracking.
