Bolsover, New Bolsover and Carr Vale


Pause mouse over images to view larger images

During my many years researching both my Richards family history and that of the village of Palterton, I have acquired a few images relating to other nearby villages.

It is not my intention to research any of these villages. However, I am posting a selection herein of images in my posession relating to the town of Bolsover and nearby villages of New Bolsover and Carr Vale.  I am aware there is a good web site relating to the village of Carr Vale.  I have included an image of Arkwright Town railway station herein.

Next is an image of Class 2 of Bolsover Colliery Infants school, dated 1911.  The location was New Bolsover, the buiding since demolished, date unknown.  The names of the people thereon has not yet been established.  During the late 1940s and 1950s, this building was shared by the school and the National Coal Board.  The latter NCB used their part of the building as a Wages Department for Arkwright, Bolsover, Markham and Ireland collieries. Also Central Workshops, I think!
