7-10, THE PARK

A group of four houses, built between 1907 and 1908 by Percy Houfton for the Brodsworth Colliery Company as part of the Woodlands colliery village. The houses have roughcast external walls and a cement-tile roof. They are two storeys high, with window arrangements of 2:4:2 windows on the first floor, creating a near-symmetrical facade. The original windows are wooden casements with glazing bars.

Number 7 (on the left) has a boarded door under a canopy supported by brackets, flanked by three-light windows on both floors. The first-floor windows on the front have a tile dripcourse above them. Number 8 has an added porch and altered ground-floor windows, but retains two original three-light windows above. Number 9 has an original doorway and a single original three-light window to the first floor on the right; other openings have been altered. Number 10 is similar to Number 7, but with a broader gable extended to the right and no gable on the right return.

There are three rendered ridge stacks with dentilled cornices; a lateral stack is on the right return, and one end stack has been removed. The development represents the first phase of the Woodlands colliery village.
