Nether Langwith

Etymology "Nether" is Saxon/Old German for Lower, "Lang" meaning long, and "with" is Old Norse vīōr wood

Langwith lies just west in the district of Bolsover, Derbyshire, from Nether Langwith, in fact the two villages adjoin. Apart from a row of shops and houses wedged between the North side of the A632 and the river Poulter, the villages have 2 public houses, the Gate Hotel & the Jug and Glass. The entire village is not a post-Second World War council estate; in fact, it is quite a quaint village surrounded by countryside and the majority of houses are privately owned.

Langwith Maltings This part of the village is separated from Langwith and Nether Langwith, by a railway, the Doncaster-Nottingham line, to-day's Robin Hood line. The village was first established following the opening of a railway station here, which was the only to serve this community of villages. This closed as part of the Dr Beeching closures of the 1960s. In the 1950s, the area site next to the railway station was developed into a council Estate, referred to as Dale Close. The Robin Hood line reopened the original with services between Nottingham and Worksop..
