the first to be built were the 30 at the bottom of the hill, which is called, Midland Terrace, in 1891. The next to be built were the top 15 in the same row, they then continued to build the next three terraces, which are Allport, Pettifer and Bolden Terraces. The Midland Terrace was always looked upon as the Drivers’ row, Allport and Pettifer terraces, as the Guards row, and finally, Bolden Terrace, which was built for the two Sidings Foremen. The next to be built by the Railway Company was the School in 1897. Before the School was built, the children had to go to Blackwell or Alfreton.

Actually it was used a reading desk and a portable pulpit. When the railway Institute was built, they transferred the Services there, so you see the people were not deterred from their worship. But eventually there was a Chapel built in 1897 and just a year later in 1898, a church was built, so now everybody can attend according to the denomination. There is just one final word I should like to say there are not many people who can remember where the first Sermons were held in West houses. I will tell you, there were held in a tent, on the ground which the Hotel now stands. Now we come to the Educational side of the village. As I told you previously the School was built by the Midland Railway in 1897, but has been taken over the County Council. There have been only School Masters, the first was Mr Robinson and the second, Mr Dicks. After Mr Dicks retired, a Schoolmistress took over control, her name being Mrs Bansall and she has two other teacher under her. The school has greatly diminished in size as the pupils when they attain the age of eleven, they go to the
