Staythorpe in medieval times belonged to the monastery of Newstead, but when King Henry VIII renounced the Catholic Church and dissolved the monasteries, he gave the land to Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1946 a large area of land was sold to the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Electric Power Company. The first or ‘A’ station was decommissioned in 1983 and demolition was started in 1986 and finished in 1988. The power station employee housing has since been sold off to the general public.
