Instoneville: a Model Village<br />
In 1920 Instoneville was built by <strong>Askern</strong> Garden City<br />
Association Ltd to house mine workers and their families.<br />
The design was inspired by the Garden City movement - with<br />
improved homes - gardens, inside water and baths; plus<br />
amenities: shops and recreation facilities. A hill was flattened<br />
on the Sutton side of <strong>Askern</strong> to create the estate. Sir Samuel<br />
Instone was the Chairman of <strong>Askern</strong> Coal & Iron Company.<br />
