New Bolsover Model Village
Highlight • Historical Site
The pit village was begun in 1891 by the Bolsover Mining Company. It is a model village built by philanthropic colliery owners which was to benefit and improve the lives of workers at Bolsover Colliery.
The architects for the village were Arthur Brewill and Basil Baily of Nottingham.
The village had a school and a Cooperative store. On the edge of the village were allotments, pig sties and the village cricket pitch. The village had no public houses, but there was an institute that would serve workers no more than three glasses of beer a day. The colliery company employed a policeman and anti-social behavior could result in fines or dismissal.
