New Bolsover Model Village & Bolsover Castle
New Bolsover was built as a model village, built to house workers employed at the Bolsover Colliery. Building commenced in 1891 and two hundred dwellings were built as a double horseshoe around a village green. No expense was spared with even the modest houses having some intricate decoration insomuch that the site is now Grade II listed. The village had a school and a Cooperative store. On the edge of the village were allotments, pig sties and the village cricket pitch but the village had no public houses. There was an institute that would serve workers no more than three glasses of beer a day. The colliery company employed a policeman and anti-social behaviour could result in fines or dismissal. A tramway was built around the site to transport the workers to the mine.
