Bermuda Road, Bermuda Village, Nuneaton
Bermuda Village was built in 1893 to house miners working at the recently-opened Griff Clara colliery. The village drew its name from the Newdigate family, the local landowners at Arbury Hall, one of whom had recently served as governor of Bermuda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda,_Warwickshire
Coal was found very close to the surface at Griff and the nuneatonhistory.com website gives an overview of the many collieries recorded in the area from 1604. Early mines were little more than holes in the ground extended underground around the edges and shored up with planks ('bell pits'), and miners resorted to this method during the General Strike in 1926. Griff New Winnings or Clara Colliery was a modern mine that operated from 1891 to 1955. More recently there were opencast workings; the website reproduces photos of these from 1989. See http://www.nuneatonhistory.com/brickyards-quarries--collieries-extractive-industries.html The Bermuda Business Park occupies the site of the colliery.

Nuneaton Carpets and Sonny's Grocery, Heath End Road, Nuneaton
The 'NCS' terracotta plaques either side of the first floor facade indicate that the Nuneaton Carpets and Wood Floors showroom was originally a Nuneaton Cooperative Society grocery shop. The central curved feature has a date of 1928. It seems to be identical to the store built in Haunchwood Road, Stockingford
