Building record 2609/0/3 - Dalehousefold Cottages

Row of twelve two storey miner's cottages, built in the 1840s for workers in the Poynton coal mines. Poynton was once a coal mining community with the colliery operating from the 17th century until its closure in 1935. A network of railway branch lines linked the different pits and allowed the coal to be transported to Manchester, Winsford and Crewe. A number of terraced cottages built for the miners can be found in Poynton.
