History
The village was originally a settlement of farms and old stone houses around the church.[3] It was expanded in 1926 by the Staveley Coal and Iron Company, to house colliery workers and their families working at their Warsop Main Colliery located in nearby Warsop Vale. This was at the time of the 1926 general strike in support of striking miners, and it has been claimed by the daughter of a miner on strike in 1984-1985 that these were miners who returned to work during the strike, and that the village is known locally as "the alley", an abbreviation of "scab alley".[4] There is also a second church, the "Chapel of Bethlem", from the same date as much of the village.
