On May 22nd 1819, the Macclesfield Courier published an advert for a colliery close to Congleton.
"The public are hereby informed that the Daneinshaw Coal Works are now completely re-established by a rail road from the works to the Turnpike Road at the foot of Daneinshaw bridge where they may be supplied with any quantity of fine, large, and good coal as any in the kingdom. Countless carts may come up Park Lane toll free; it is a good road and the wharf is convenient for loading as every accommodation will be rendered for loading of carts, etc, at the wharf."
It appears that the enterprise did not last very long as there was a sale of effects from the closed colliery in September 1834.
In 1995 after a certain amount of detective work I identified some evidence of the tramroad and was able to follow the route to find the remains of the colliery. Today I thought I would see if there was still something to see of the shaft and indeed it was still there, about 5ft in diameter and stone lined. This is just inside Staffordshire although there are further colliery remains in an adjacent valley just the Cheshire side of the border.
