"The Huthwaite (miners') Welfare (recreation) Ground" is sandwiched between Columbia Street and Mill Lane, an unsurfaced track from where this picture was taken. Both of these plummet downhill from the main road that passes through Huthwaite i.e. the B6026. This land was donated for community use by the New Hucknall Colliery Company and the original access to it when it first opened in 1920 was via a set of gates off Columbia Street. The newer 'main entrance', off the B6026, was created later. A path, beneath this one, connected these two thoroughfares and was regularly walked by coal miners going to and from the New Hucknall Colliery. a miners welfare sports ground, pavilion and recreation ground in Columbia Street, Sutton Road.
