This vehicle's licence disc was issued by Derby County Council in December 1934 and expired in December 1935. It is what is known in the UK as a 'traction engine', used to drive machinery by means of a belt, but the licence disc describes it as a 'steam roller'. It may have been fitted with a roller in an earlier incarnation.

The ground workings are probably evidence of coal mining here in the past. Poynton, Cheshire in the UK.

The lumps and bumps in the terrain left by intensive coal mining make for an unusual ‘forest floor’.

Until 1935 there were rail tracks running along this path. The rails that can be seen supporting the bank are however not the original ones – they are old tram tracks. Coal was transported on this incline between the Macclesfield Canal and Poynton in Cheshire. This was part of the village’s 150 year involvement in the UK coal industry. Today it is a footpath and a much valued local amenity.

An area that until 1935 was part of the Vernon Pits in Poynton, Cheshire, part of the area’s 150 year history as a coal-mining settlement. Now it is pasture land for sheep. And the air is good to breath.

Standing hard and gritty in this soft Cheshire landscape of sheep pasture and trees is the little brick building that was used for storing gunpowder when this area was part of the Vernon Pits – part of Poynton’s 150 year history as a coal-mining settlement. (“In t’olden days this were all mines…”) Mining here ended in 1935 (so no, neither Margaret Thatcher nor Arthur Scargill can be blamed) following a period of decreasing yields and high drainage costs.

The disc with indentations is a 'map' showing the position of mine shafts and mine workings in Poynton and Higher Poynton, relative to the Nelson Pit Visitor Centre. The last collieries here were closed in 1935.
