Building record 2609/0/5 - Poynton Green

There is a row of six, two storey brick built cottages, dated 1845 at the junction of Clumber Road and Park Lane. 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.
