Numbers 131-143 Including The Attached And Associated Back Yard Walls

This is a terrace of eight colliery workers' cottages built around 1891-1894, possibly designed 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 having two 3-light casement windows set 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, with the casements featuring small pane glazing. The walls at the rear are attached and enclose back yards. These houses are part of the 'Model Village' created by the Bolsover Colliery Company to accommodate its workforce, reflecting the enlightened Garden Suburb principles of planning and design.
