Annesley Woodhouse is a village in Nottinghamshire, some ten miles north of the City of Nottingham and six miles south of Mansfield, close to Junction 27 of the M1 motorway. It has a population of around 3.500.
History
Annesley Woodhouse originated as a farming community and expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries as the mining industry locally was established and grew. In the post-war years and beyond, the village has grown rapidly and conjoined with neighbouring villages Nuncargate & Kirkby Woodhouse. All have now become an extension of their 'parent' town, Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
Modern Annesley Woodhouse
With the demise of the mining industry in the 1990s Annesley Woodhouse is now largely a residential area with people travelling out of the village for education, employment and leisure.
A windmill was located near to Midfield Road.
