Keresley End was a pit village which began to develop in the early 1900s, when the first mine shaft was created.
In 1954, the development around Howat Road was built by Bedworth Urban District Council.
This has since been demolished and a small housing estate was built in its place in the late 1990s.
The mine closed in the 1980s and the site has since been turned over to distribution (ProLogis Park) and housing.
The Golden Eagle pub at the end of Howat Road also had an "outdoor" (similar to an off-licence) where snacks could be purchased as well as alcohol and soft drinks.
