The colliery is believed to be the oldest in the country and forms an important part of the District's heritage.

Dating from 1865, Annesley Colliery was in use for over 130 years. At the time of its closure in 2000, it was the oldest running colliery in Nottinghamshire and the last remaining pit in the Hucknall and Bulwell area.

Various phases of development occurred during the time of its use, mainly in the 1860/70s, 1920/30s and the late 1970/80s. This led to a variety of styles of buildings on the site.

The pit baths at the head of the site date from the 1930s and possess an art deco style from the period.

The associated village with its rows of terraced housing – or "Annesley Rows" as they are locally known – was constructed between 1869 and 1873 and comprises a total of 160 "cottages".

The village buildings reflect the urban domestic vernacular architecture of the late 19th century.

The Conservation Area includes Mosely Farm, which dates back to the 17th Century and is constructed of stone with a pitch clay pantiled roof. The farm building was extended in the 20th Century.
