Homes in Smalley

Smalley's listed houses include Smalley Hall, from the 1700s and enlarged twice since, and Smalley Lodge, built in 1861 to a design by W. E. Nesfield. Smalley Common was a mining settlement. About 61 identical colliery terraces went up on Spencer Street and Blunt Street around 1887 to 1901, rented from the National Coal Board from 1946, with no bathrooms until the late 1960s. That area has since been redeveloped and has merged with Stanley Common. Homes that gained bathrooms late often have wiring added in stages, with bathroom circuits from a different decade to the rest.
