Poolsbrook
Human settlement in England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poolsbrook (grid reference SK442736) is a former mining village near Staveley in North East Derbyshire, England. The village was built by Staveley Coal and Iron Company towards the end of the 19th century to provide housing for workers employed at the nearby Speedwell and the later Ireland Collieries. Since then new houses have been built (dubbed the "new village" by locals) and the old houses have been knocked down.
