Old terraces at Kimblesworth
This is East Parade, on the south end of the village. The mining village of Kimblesworth was established in the late 19th century. Most of the old terraced housing was demolished in the 1950's and 60's, but these terraces were of better quality as they were colliery officials houses, and were spared.

Kimblesworth House
This short street, right at the south end of the village, consists of former colliery officials houses. The first one is Kimblesworth House, and was the home of the colliery manager. The pit was behind these houses, and closed in 1967.

Parish Church at Kimblesworth
This is St Philip and St Paul's church, opened in 1893 to serve the mining village which had grown up here in the late 19th century. Previously, Kimblesworth had been a small farming community. There seems to be some building work in progress at the moment.
