A row of semi-detached houses was built along Derby Road at the behest of Caroline Chaworth Musters during the 1870s. The houses are at some distance from the terraces, along the main road. Known as The Grove or Annesley Grove, they are characteristic of model labourers’ ccommodation or estate workers’ cottages of the period. The semi-detached houses have front gardens and are built of rock-faced stone. They are executed in Gothic style, with pointed gables, prominent chimneys and mullioned windows. The accommodation is superior to that of the terraces and census records suggest these houses were occupied by colliery management but not exclusively so. It was thought locally that they were estate houses for Annesley Hall. The cottages are entered from the side, with two downstairs rooms and two bedrooms. Map evidence shows that there was an alley behind the houses and detached outbuildings, which were probably privies. By the end of the 1930s single-storey rear extensions of matching style and materials had been added. (3)
