History

From a previous study we discovered a huge ‘nest’ of Richards and their relatives who lived in the area in the 1830 to 1860 period. Their occupations varied from Coal Miners, Masons, Brickmakers, Publicans and Blacksmiths.

The Richards had moved around, some travelled further distances. Coal Miners seemed to be in constant transit moving in and out of Derbyshire. It is difficult to keep up with them but through the Census data from 1841 to 1881 we can keep abreast with them, to some extent.

Three Inns came to light through this exercise vis. The Stag Inn, The Nelson and The Jolly Colliers. The Richards of The Nelson and The Jolly Colliers at Awsworth are related but at present we have not proved that the Richards of The Stag Inn are related to the others……….but the theory is that they could well be.

The Richards owned a fair amount of property at Edinboro Row, Kimberley Flatt during this period. Where their wealth derived from is at present unknown.

It was Mathew Richards the son of Mathew and Mary Richards nee Sore who seemed to start the ball rolling. Originally he was a Coal Miner but became the Licensee of The Jolly Colliers during the 1820s.

He purchased property at Edinboro Row, known locally as Chalk Knob, the property having been built on limestone. Even today the view from this row of houses is superb. Perhaps he was hard working and thrifty and decided to invest his money in property. No documentary evidence has yet been discovered to indicate that he inherited any such property or money.

Kimberley and Nuthall were ‘enclosed’ late compared with other Parishes, in 1846. This is a bonus for mid nineteenth century research in this area. There is also a Map and an Award available – from these documents owner / occupiers can be established.
