Belph is a village or hamlet in the District of Bolsover, Derbyshire, England. It is part of the Welbeck Abbey Estate, on the edge of Sherwood Forest. The village is located south-east of Hodthorpe, south-east of Whitwell and south-west of Worksop. The village has two parts, Belph Village, and Penny Green. Belph Village consists of about 30 houses either side of a single lane. A number were originally farmhouses; all except Springfield Farm are now private homes. Penny Green consists of a row of 8 labourers cottages built in the 1900s on the Whitwell Station Road and a large stone cottage. The latter was once the Portland Arms (a pub). On the Creswell Crags Road are Brook Cottages, 3 stone built cottages of the 19th century. An area of the village known as the "Millash" was located where a stream flows from a natural fault. The ruins of two mills survive, the rest of the hamlet being buried under a spoil tip left by the now defunct Whitwell Colliery. ==Etymology== It has long been thought that the name Belph is a corruption of the Norman French/Saxon "Bulgh" meaning forest stream. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Belph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
