Epwood & Evenlode New Town
Epwood and Evenlode New Town run together these days. Evenlode New Town comprises dozens of little mining cottages, scattered on the hills around Evenlode Coal Mine. It’s a dark, damp corner of the Bekonscot District, and freight trains trundle along the cliff bases with loads of coal.
Look out too for:
- The coal as it comes out of the ground
- The archaeological dig
- The “arts and crafts” and “art deco” 1920s style houses
- The retirement home with its fountains
- The petrol station and workshops
- Polo Match, Epwood Castle and Bodger’s Yard
AND: Remote-controlled boats to play with!
