ELMTON WITH CRESWELL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - In Creswell churchyard there’s a man called Reginald Hardwick buried, a man that survived the sinking of the Titanic - If you look to the right entering the churchyard there are the graves of the some of the 80 miners killed in the disaster. Most of their widows lay there with them
wow that brings back memories as i lived at 79 model village when i was 15 years old and used to get the Chesterfield bus to school every day. was the shop on the corner of elmton road as you turn into model village still there as i used to go in that shop after school for sweets and a comic.
There is a memorial in the cemetery to miners lost in the pit disaster. My 2x great uncle was one of them. He lived in the model village. I think the benches you saw are outside the houses of the miners lost and their names should be on them too.

Hello Andy a difficult question I'm sure but if you had to choose which would be your favourite(s) village?
It changes on the regular haha!
At the moment...probably Millington in the East Riding
Cresswell not Crezzwell
It’s got 1 s not 2!
@@flissgregory9125 I think Rebecca is referring to how locals pronounce Creswell.
@@clive6587 I’m originally from Clowne.
It’s the pronouncing, not the spelling. It’s pronounced CRESS well.
