Warsop Vale
View across the green from West Street. The north and east sides of the village are being redeveloped with new housing. This is a view looking roughly north north east, so the houses on the north side are on East Street, a nice whimsey continuing the odd naming of the existing streets - West Street on the south side and North Street on the west side. The east side of the village has always been named King Street.
The new housing is aimed at revitalised what had become a depressed and desolate community following closure of the local colliery in 1989.

Old and new at Warsop Vale
On the left the back of one of the traditional terrace houses on West Street; beyond is new housing on the newly constituted East Street. The crossroads sign is currently inaccurate!

Old postbox at Warsop Vale
It's unclear why this box should have been abandoned and replaced with a new one http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2335524. It is built into what is now the Malcolm Sargison Centre, the local community services point.

West Street, Warsop Vale
Warsop Vale was a mining village created around 1900 by the Staveley Iron and Steel Company to serve their expanding Warsop Main Colliery. Planned as a square round a large green, of which West Street formed the . . . er . . . south side.

Closed shop on the corner of West Street
The old mining village of Warsop Vale is without any form of retail premises. The postbox (Warsop Vale ref. NG20 83) replaces a wallbox in the building opposite, which still remains in situ http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2335530.

Corner of Greenshank Road and West Street
In Warsop Vale. The corner building was once the home of Warsop Vale Mini Market - no longer operating. It was also the home of the Malcolm Sargison Resource Centre which has also closed indefinitely.

Warsop Vale Mini Market
Unusually the entrance is to the rear. The building once housed, and still bears the signage for, the Malcolm Sargison Resource Centre, though this seems to have closed in 2015.

The old school, Warsop Vale
Long since converted to industrial use, even this seems to have gone by the board with the premises currently empty. The school was built in 1901, contemporarily with the rest of the village to serve the local colliery.

Looking east towards West Street
The far terrace is West Street which forms the south side of the village - very confusing!
The path is part of the Dukeries Trail.

The Warsop Vale Hotel
Public House, known locally as 'The Swing'. The selection of late 70's- early 80's sign fonts on the pub's exterior walls is becoming a rarer sight these days. Also visible here is a local Stagecoach bus service winding its way through the village.
