Bolham is a hamlet in Nottinghamshire, a mile north of Retford town centre, and strung out from the northern outskirts of that town.

Bolham Hall is an early 18th-century brick house of five bays. Bolham Mills on the River Idle is a tanning mill, the buildings being converted in the mid 19th century from a water-powered paper mill built around 1800.[1]
