The village initially consisted of ninety miners' houses, a working men's club, and a mission hall.
The village was constructed next to local transportation and industrial infrastructure, including the Griff Arm of the Coventry Canal and the Stanley Brickworks.
The estate backs onto open countryside near Arbury Hall and a large industrial and leisure park.
The estate is supported by Bermuda Park Community, an organisation focussed on improving the quality of life for residents of the area.
The village made it to national and even international headlines in 1972 when a large dump of cyanide was discovered on a children's playground, probably sourced from the local car industry.
