traffic, well before the days of the motor car. In the case of "The Park", three sides of which form part of the perimeter, the rear of the houses face out of the village across the usual access road/path with the semi communal/private green behind - at the front is the usual garden, then a pavement, then a tree-lined verge, then a wide road, then a massive open green which in a way is the park itself. As can be deduced, the road around the park runs all the way around the green.

As the phrase "model village" can mean two separate things, anyone reading this article could be misled into thinking that New
Earswick (for example) is a miniature town, rather than a social housing residence. That's why I removed all references to "miniature parks" from this page and created the

Although
Council Estates were later built adjacent to the village (and a further estate of less well designed tied cottages - in which I was born), two sides of the village still today back onto woodland; whilst the other two sides are separated from the council estates by wide roads and communal
383:
Yes, the cross referencing gets confusing as it tries to cover too big an area. I think there may be a case for drawing the
Yorkshire model villages together. UNESCO has listed the Derwent Valley mills together as a world heritage site, and I think this more limited grouping is a good example.
354:
Houses within the village have a very large (semi communal/private) green to the back (the squares), and face each other across wide tree-lined avenues. So in front of every house they have a front garden, a pavement, a grass verge with trees, then a wide street always able to cope with two way
414:
Is "near the industrial city in which they work" always correct, or even correct in most cases? My impression is that the inhabitants of most model villages were supposed to work in the village itself or just next to it, not in a nearby city. The examples in this article also seem to fit that.
346:
I would say
Woodlands is more "sedate" architecturally; not having entirely different styles competing for attention. The other advantages are that, whilst Port Sunlight is open plan at both front and back, ALL houses in Woodlands have their own enclosed front garden. Further, Woodlands was

I am sorry, but I have to dismiss
Bournville. It is too small and runs into other built up areas, and apparently the quality houses were only for some privileged workers. In the cases of Woodlands, Stewartby, and Port Sunlight, quality housing was available to all employees.
373:
Many of the model villages in this catagory have a section with links to other model villages, I think something needs to be done to make this more standardised, either make a template for all of the articles or remove it completely. Any one else have any thoughts?

in 2009) is a little confusing. The key factor is the quality of the housing and the environment, but at the time these were built it was assumed that workers would walk (or perhaps cycle) to work. I've tweaked the wording to better reflect the article content.
347:
originally surrounded by countryside/Woodland, with the only built features being the Great North Road and "Woodlands" the
Country House (which is now a social club). The colliery itself is in a dip to the WNW of the village and did not dominate the village.
358:
I think that, as
Saltaire is a UNESCO World Heritage site, then so should be Woodlands - it is a later and more developed (much more private space etc., more modern facilities in the houses, no long terraces } model village.
351:
green land to the backs. All house on the perimeter of the village have an access path/road at the back, but then communal (or sometimes private) grassed area - as stated earlier ALL houses have a private front garden.
395:
Should we add
Portmerion to the list? It is not a worker's village but is a designed community. Wales does seem a little under-represented. I was thinking Cwmbran also but that is more a New Town.

There are several short references to
Burchardt 1994, but the entry in the Bibliography section is dated 2002. Is this just a typo or is there a missing Bibliography entry?

In the absense of any further discussion, I've added a disambiguation link at the top. I'll removed the miniature village stuff, and put it into miniature parks instead.--
