Yorkley and Whitecroft
Yorkley and Whitecroft is a Forest of Dean mining village that kept the houses after the coal ran out, and the coal, to be fair, left plenty of itself behind under them. Even the brass band, founded in 1903, began as an offshoot of the one in Pillowell next door, which is how you start a rivalry without the bother of moving. Estate agents will call it "woodland living". Your solicitor will call it a mining search, and the solicitor will be the one who's right.
