To the east [of M17324], on the southern side of the main road, is a larger area of housing of a similar type, built soon after the first world war. (1)
Includes church, welfare and school.
By 1931 the population of Rainworth had more than doubled in the space of 10 years to 894 people. This was a consequence of further house building by the Bolsover Colliery Company (see MNT 25019 for first phase) who built approximately 400 houses...in a triangle plot between Kirklington Road, Python Hill Road, and South Avenue.

See M17324 for the earlier Rainworth pre-Colliery Village in Mansfield parish.
