The Park (Woodlands)

The Park (Woodlands)

The Park is the name of the centrepiece of Woodlands model village, with about 120 houses set around a green of about 10 to 15 acres. The houses overlook woodland or green open space, and do not face each other across a road as with traditional industrial villages.

Woodlands was built in the early years of the 20th century as tied cottages for the miners at nearby Brodsworth Colliery.
