Bermuda Village is an area of Nuneaton, located around 1½ miles south-west of the town centre. The "village" comprises one street (a cul-de-sac) lined with around 90 terraced cottages, built in 1893 by the Griff Colliery Company to accommodate miners at its nearby coal mines. A working men\'s club and a mission hall were also built at the southern end of the street.
The village was named in honour local landowner, Lt Gen. Sir Edward Newdigate-Newdegate, who was Governor of Bermuda from 1888 to 1892.
