Bermuda, Warwickshire

Bermuda, Warwickshire

Bermuda is a suburb of Nuneaton in the English county of Warwickshire.

Bermuda was a pit village built in 1893 to house workers for the Griff Colliery Company's new mine, "Griff Clara". The village initially consisted of ninety miners' houses, a working men's club, and a mission hall. The new construction replaced the former workers' housing, known as "the Old Row". Bermuda was named for local landowner Edward Newdegate, a former Governor of Bermuda.

The village was constructed next to local transportation and industrial infrastructure, including the Griff Arm of the Coventry Canal and the Stanley Brickworks.

Despite increasing commercial and suburban development in the immediate vicinity, Bermuda Village is preserved by planning regulations as an "area of restraint", meaning that no major redevelopment should take place in the village itself. Its future would appear to be the centre of a new residential, commercial and technological district in Nuneaton, given the development of new technology and business parks in addition to new housing in the surrounding area.
