Abstract/Summary
A plantation adjacent to Cliff Lane between 2 fields on Knoll Nook Farm was shown on Bryant’s Map of Cheshire of 1831. This site was described as ‘Fish Pond and Plantation’ in the Macclesfield Courier of 28 November 1846 relating to the sale by auction of the One House estate. The site is identified as ‘Fish Pond and Wood’ on the Cheshire 1850 Tithe Map. The site is shown on subsequent OS Maps as two ponds, but knowledge of its original purpose has been lost. An archaeological survey confirms presence of 2 fish ponds separated by a dam with a screen of trees, most likely associated with the One House nearby (HER Number 4660) and constructed in the 17th or 18th centuries.
