Numbers 69-81 Including The Attached And Associated Back Yard Walls

This is a terrace of seven colliery workers' cottages, built around 1891-1894, possibly by Brewill & Baily. The cottages are constructed of red brick with some ashlar dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof with decorative ridge cresting. They have brick ridge stacks and are two storeys high with attics. A decorative band runs along the first floor, and there is a saw tooth eaves cornice. The cottages are designed as symmetrical pairs, with each pair featuring two 3-light casement windows in ashlar surrounds, flanked by doorways that have ashlar lintels, panelled doors, and over lights. Above, there are two 2-light cross casements under stop-chamfered ashlar lintels, and the casements have small pane glazing. The walls at the rear are attached and enclose back yards. These houses are part of the 'Model Village' built by the Bolsover Colliery Company to accommodate its workers, reflecting the enlightened Garden Suburb principles of planning and design.
