Numbers 175-189 Including The Attached And Associated Back Yard Walls

This is a terrace of eight colliery workers' cottages built around 1891 to 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 and brick ridge stacks. They are two storeys high with attics and include a decorative first-floor band and a saw tooth eaves cornice. The cottages are arranged in symmetrical pairs, with each pair slightly stepped up the hillside, which is reflected in the roof levels. Each pair has two 3-light casement windows in ashlar surrounds, with doorways that have ashlar lintels, panelled doors, and overlights. Above these are two 2-light cross casements under stop-chamfered ashlar lintels, with small pane glazing. There are walls attached to the rear that enclose the back yards. These houses are part of the 'Model Village' created by the Bolsover Colliery Company to accommodate its workforce, following progressive Garden Suburb principles of planning and design.
