Broad Valley Drive estate and Broad Valley Farm
The farm is now a riding school. The housing estate is the most recently developed part of Bestwood Village and post-dates the closure of the colliery. The village shows a clear chronology of development from the time when it was first started as a mining village in the 1870s

Bestwood Village, Coronation Road
The name gives a clue to the date of building. Typical post-war council development with only a narrow carriageway - council tenants were not expected to own motor cars! At this stage the colliery was still productive and modern housing was important.
