otheruses Bermuda disambiguation Bermuda is a suburb of Nuneaton in the England English county of Warwickshire . Bermuda was a pit village built in 1893 to house workers for the Griff Colliery Company s new mine, Griff Clara . The village initially consisted of ninety miners houses, a working men s club , and a mission hall. The new construction replaced the former workers housing, known as the Old Row . Bermuda was named for local landowner Edward Newdegate , a former Governor of Bermuda . The village was constructed next to local transportation and industrial infrastructure, including the Griff Arm of the Coventry Canal and the Stanley Brickworks . Despite increasing commercial and suburban development in the immediate vicinity, Bermuda Village is preserved by planning regulations as an area of restraint , meaning that no major redevelopment should take place in the village itself. Its future would appear to be the centre of a new residential, commercial and technological district in Nuneaton, given the development of new technology and business parks in addition to new housing in the surrounding area.
