At New Clipstone … 1930's colliery housing by Houfton & Kington of Chesterfield. (1)

One of the best colliery villages of the inter-war period. Houses are semi-detached or in groups of three, and the angular regularity of the old street patterns is replaced by curved avenues and cul-de-sacs. In the centre … is a recreational area, with places of worship and a public hall. (2)

The Bolsover Colliery Company … built the spacious new village. (3)

As the colliery workforce increased, new houses (648) were built during the 1920s, along the southern lines of the dismantled camp (Gray, 2008). This was the beginning of the development of new Clipstone Village. The village continues to grow, but remains largely within the footprint of the former camp. (4)
