Numbers 8-22 Including The Attached And Associated Back Yard Walls

This is a terrace of eight cottages built around 1891-1894, likely designed by Brewill & Baily. The cottages were constructed for the Bolsover Colliery Company as part of a “Model Village” intended to house workers, and they reflect the principles of Garden Suburb planning and design.

The terrace is built of red brick with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof with decorative ridge cresting. Brick stacks rise from the roof. The cottages are two storeys high and have attics. A decorative band runs along the first floor, and the eaves have a saw-tooth cornice. The terrace is designed to appear symmetrical in pairs, each pair stepped slightly up the hillside, which is reflected in the roof levels. Each pair has two 3-light casement windows in ashlar surrounds, flanking doorways with ashlar lintels, panelled doors, and overlights. Above are two 2-light cross casements under stop-chamfered ashlar lintels. A pair of gabled dormers are set into the roof, each having 2-light casements under chamfered ashlar lintels. The casement windows have small panes of glass. Walls attached to the rear enclose the back yards.
