Summary
A planned settlement was established here, soon after the clay workings opened in the 1830s. It comprised terraces of house, gardens and allotments with a methodist chapel, an anglican mission hall and a co-operative store. A row of two storeyed greystone terraced cottages bears the date of 1835. Only the southern part of the village, around the methodist chapel still stands today.
