Nowadays the village is a quiet rural village but 100 years ago the Village was the centre of the Churnet Valley Iron Mining Industry. Partly as a consequence of this, Kingsley at one time had many pubs, but today only one remains, The Bull's Head, in High Street. In recent years, the old Swan pub has been converted into a large family home, and The Plough has been demolished and the site of the pub and its car park now have houses built on it.
The village is very close to Alton Towers.
